Update:
This past weekend, Dan Jones, a member of the Dunklin Board of Directors, committed to providing the irrigation system as well as the sod needed for prayer island. Another answer to prayer in a most wonderful and generous way! Other donations continue to come in and are applied to the costs to the island's "extreme makeover". It is all looking really good and we haven't lost a plant. The bridge is just incredible and beautiful.
The caps for the bridge came in but the company sent the wrong color. New order is on the way. Everything is coming together amazingly though within this sacred space.
On the calendar: This Friday July 3; spreading out more mulch, mowing the grass, more clearing of memorial island, weeding. putting out more solar lights, pressure cleaning the swans to ready for painting and sealing. Hopefully will be getting the banner in the mail soon which will go up at the entrance.
List of items still to get: Solar pump for the swan fountain.
Several water lilies and special planters for the pond
More and more solar lights
Edger to trim the beds
Storage shed for our tools
Paint for the gazebo; to match the bridge posts
Decorative blocks for the stone wall around the seating area behind
the gazebo
