gleaning the gleaning cloth

The most exciting part of the summer gleaning workshop was when I said "ok, go for it, time for gleaning!"  After choosing which panel they wanted to cut for their apron, each of the team gleaners went for it with their scissors.  I was very amused by finally seeing this happening and I couldn't stop giggling!  It was evocative of the picking of the plums in the summer in a very delightful way - yay!!!
