Today we worked at the DuPont Estate (a wealthy Delaware family) in Bellvue, Delaware. The state took control of the estate back in 1975 and it is now a State Park. We trimmed hedges and cleared invasive plants. We got a great tour of the park/estate also. There are many recreation areas, open spaces, walking trails, a disc golf course, etc. The first US Women's Open for tennis was held at the estate. We had a coffee break with the gruffy maintenance men and had a home cooked lunch, compliments of the Volunteer Coordinator in the Park office. It was delicious!!
Here is most of the team next to the wood shredder:

So this is what our basement looks like currently, about 4 inches of sludge remain on the ground from a broken pipe...so we're all moved out for the time being

Any problems viewing the pictures?! Let me know. I hope you're all able to see them.

Love love,
