Same details as before -- pasted below for ease - except there will be NO camping option.

hello YOGA fans. Due to some miscommunication, and some lovely RAIN, we aren't having yoga today 8/6, at 5pm. We'll let you know when the next yoga time is planned. So, even if it's not raining at 5pm today, we are still cancelling. Sorry for the confusion. (and YAY FOR THIS MUCH NEEDED RAIN!!)

Also, yesterday's flower arranging and potluck was so beautiful!! The flowers and the community - so beautiful!!

Just a reminder of TODAY'S FLOWER EVENT and upcoming events!
