At our Opening Circle, we checked our preparedness, as the weather called for a day of low temperatures and potential rain. We also talked about why we are serving today, and reviewed another motto, Our Cups Overflow. The Red Foxes agreed that people are not the only ones whose cups can be empty, and that today we would be filling the cups of the the plants and animals who visit and inhabit Woodstock Farm, as well as the beautiful bay beyond.
After a rose-bud-thorn check-in, we joined the Pikas and got to work! The Red Foxes dropped packs, had a quick snack, and then spread out to do trail clean-up, dig out invasive blackberry and holly, and pull grass away from native plants.
With a good chunk of service done and many native plants left free to breathe and grow, it was time for lunch! The two groups rejoined on the bluff where we ate, chatted, and had a "vegetable off" competition. We played a giant game of Spider's Web all together and then it was time to get back to work! The girls pulled plants and cleaned up the site for a while longer until the sun began to set and the evening light beckoned us to the views.
With full cups from an afternoon of service, the Red Foxes enjoyed some solid group bonding time as the girls lounged around in the grass. We ended our day with a few hilarious rounds of psychiatrist and then hopped back on the bus for our closing circle, an attitude of gratitude, and a loud shout-out of our words of the day before meeting parents for pick-up.
Our words of the day? Muddy Service and New Friends!
