Purple, Yellow, Raspberry, Pink, Green, Gold, Blue

A couple weeks ago my team and I had our service day.  It's a chance for the team to do serve locally and to spend more time getting to know each other.  For our service day we got to paint the shed out at the community garden.

The community garden is on the outskirts of Lafayette, and people pay for a plot and all we ask is that they donate part of what they grow to a local food bank or to a family that is in need.  The shed has been out there, and is completely usable, but needed a little love just to look better.  

So one Saturday morning, after a stop at the local Starbucks, we all headed over in our painting clothes.  We had visions of lots of color, and spent a good amount of time mixing paint.  We didn't want to paint the whole thing one color, so I think we ended up with about 7.  We painted each surface a different color and then we let one of the artists take over and design all the accents.  And here's what we ended up with....

It's so bright and cheery, and we hope that the gardeners all enjoy it.  But the best part of the day was laughing and playing with my team.  They are amazing women and I am so excited to share this trip with them.
