Well, today was basically amazing!!!! I got to work way early so I felt lame... but the nice guy that I talked to over the little speaker let me in!!!! Everyone was so nice and they all related my name to cheese :) I love it!!!!
Me and Gracy (the other intern/apprentice) went and talked for a while with Lucy Tolmach... she is the Head of the Horticulture Department at Filoli and she gave us each a 3" binder full of everything we need to know while doing our internships!!!! It was great but it was also a lot of info to try to remember...
After all the business stuff we went and had break time with all the other garden staff and had a little 20 min party... it was sweet and I cant say enough how nice everyone it!!!! I like nice people so it makes me happy to be around so many other nice people!!!! :)
James Costello (lead over walled and woodland garden) took us to discuss about back safety and we watched a movie about it... I can see why its so important in this field of work to be careful with our bodies!!!!
When we were through with that it was lunch time... I basically felt way lazy all morning just sitting and listening... but I know its all important stuff so I did not mind too much :)
Than for the best part of the day... I GOT TO WORK IN THE GARDEN!!!!! Yep, I sure did :) I used a reel mower (powered by me...) and mowed step like sections of grass over by the wedding area... it was way sweet and I really enjoyed it!!!! When that was done I got to pull weeds!!!! Anyone that knows me well will know I actually love pulling weeds... Its true... I do!!!!! Anyway, We did this for almost the rest of the day and I had a great time getting to know Paul Cady (assistant to James in the walled and woodland area) a little and just doing what I love!!!
I had to of course fill out some paper work at the end of the day and I got lost... I actually got lost like 4 times today but I just laughed and asked for help... the really funny part was when I could not even find anyone to ask for help... hahah... I will get it eventually I am sure!!!!
I last thing... I cant take pictures while I am working so I will work on taking pictures and posting them but this weeks they are kind of lame and random!!!!!!
