Saturday our Middle School CORE group went out to Mrs. Linda's house to rake her back yard. She is the caregiver for a hospice patient and her yard had not been raked for about 2 years so, needless to say we had our work cut out for us. But middle schoolers are hardcore! They worked hard all day long to finish. We ended up with about 120 bags of leaves!As fun and productive of a day as it was, however, it was not enough to just rake the leaves...not for the middle school CORE group! No, they spent the whole afternoon plotting and scheming the most creative way to use the 120 bags of leaves that they had collected. They decided that the best solution would be to put the bags -- all of them --- in Jeff and Lori's yard. Now, because Jeff has such a caring intern, this did not happen. But I had to give them props because it would have been a nearly brilliant prank. (almost up there with the lima beans) 
So that was our day. I think it was a good start for our middle school group and hopefully it had an impact on the people we were serving. Until our next project...
