April 2 normally has 65 degree temperatures, however today we will be lucky if it gets above 45. Nevertheless, Swami Kriyananda is coming in 3.5 weeks so we need, as a community, need to get out and clean up our community. Today we are working at the Expanding Light and Crystal Hermitage areas. I awakened this morning to light rain showers, which is much better than the downpour I experienced last night, when I returned from a bay area computer training class. Being "yogis' and living in our spine we tend to great these days with. "Oh Joy!!" Despite the long week in bay area and rather long drive home, I look forward to celebrating our community with this work day. We gather for a morning circle then disburse to our various areas. Time to bundle up now and head out.....
First, (well at least after a cup of coffee for some of us) we have a prayer circle where we chant and meditate.
Gyandevi is dressed for the rain

Some worked in the gardens, others of us took chain saws and went out to clear dead limbs. Yours truly picked up and stacked dead wood so Prakash could come along and pick it up later

Some of us just try to tear the trees down by hand.
After 4 hours of cleaning we stopped to meditate and have lunch. I went home and took some ibuprofen.

I wonder if Nevada City weather might be more accurate since the elevation is roughly equivalent. NSJ is 800 feet lower...
