Five neighboring families on McKenzie Avenue gather every spring and fall for yard-work parties. On April 17, 2011 Miles Freelan (left), Gabe Hallett (center), and Sean Yanick help plant carnations in garden boxes. "The deer don't like [carnations]," said Hallett. "They are poisonous to them so they stay away from the garden."
Bob Keller works at the neighborhood yard-work party on McKenzie Avenue where he lives. "We've been doing this for 12 years," said Bob's wife Pat Karlberg. "The weather is always sunny for us!"
