Dedication Ceremony for Butterfly Signs

 Planting of Butterfly Signs with Garden Names


Mark and Dale dug a 2 foot hole for the butterfly base to be cemented in.


They had to cut tree roots along the way.  Not an easy task in any weather.  It was 83 degrees.








This looks like a peaceful and tranquil setting.
However, there was a crew close by cutting limbs off the large oak trees.








There were many volunteers to thank for making the butterfly name dedication happen.

Adding Butterfly Sign to Brazos Sage Garden

 Butterflies on Brazos

After an hour of getting supplies and sign to the garden, the heavy work began.
Ann was there for support.
Dale was checking the hole size.  This is a young garden with clay base that proved to be a shoulder work out for Dale and Mark.
Spikes were attached to base for added stability.
Whew...it took a long time to get deep enough!
Ready to be cemented in place.
Yeah! A job super well done.  Thank you Mark and Dale for "shouldering" through this task!
