If you want to fall in love with a whole group of people at one time, get to know some volunteers. It's often said that busy people get more done, and that has to be the case with our bunch.
They're from everywhere: England, France, Holland, Scotland, and beautiful downtown Vermont. (Someone once said that the whole state's a small town.)
They do and have done everything: parenting, painting, poetry-writing, proof-reading, engineering, musicologizing, theologizing. And I'm not even started!
This afternoon a group of third-graders is outside, taking leaves and picking up fallen branches.
Last night Mike was here paying bills, and Anne and Stefanie were running the circulation desk. They were chatting with Sandi about the Mother's Day plant sale, which they will run under the auspices of the Friends organization. (More about that group soon.)
They're all amazing people with the energy of community. We're incredibly lucky.
Thanks, volunteers.
