Fall Festival October 11 with pumpkins in our garden!
It was a perfect day for a Fall Celebration of the rural life! As you can see below there were plenty of activities for kids and adults with the smell of baked goods drifting everywhere. Our one room school house was fun to show off and see how it used to be in Limestone at the turn of the century-the last one. Thanks to Sue for the photos

 Friends of the Library Limestone Friendship Garden planting Apri 12th! We had a fun and fabulous time too! There were as many adults as children chatting and planting pots of veggies for the garden. It will be exciting to bring back those sprouted seeds to plant outdoors in the Library Friendship Garden. we were fortunate to have 4 Master Gardeners (Helen, Jan, Marti and Rick) from the U of I Extension Service to provide invaluable advice. Here are a few photos from the event.
