Well first thing this morning we finished pulling out the rosemary and than Gracy, Kate and I went on a tour of the house!!! This was super neat and I will have lots of pictures to show you over the weekend!!!! Tom Rogers (Filoli Curator) gave us about a 2 hour tour... it was amazing and much more information than most people get in their half hour walk through with volunteers!!!! One of the things that stood out to me was that he kept saying Filoli was created from "miracle after miracle"... I liked that because it really shows that it was not easy to make and keep Filoli in such a great condition and with so many wonderful artifacts inside... its truly a piece of art!!!!!
In the afternoon we all went to work on the group project in area 3... we were planting wall flowers and it goes pretty slowly... I cant remember if I have told you what we do already but I will tell you again since we did it again!!!! To start we have already prepared the beds with forking and fertilizer and are now to the planting part!!!! We lay out boards so we are not walking directly on the soil and start in the middle so we work our way out... there are rose trees all throughout so you try not to touch them as they will suck you in and scratch you up!!!! We are planting in perfectly straight lines and have to use a ruler and string and they are only 10 inches apart so there are lots of them. Picture this... me balancing on a board trying to not get eaten by a rose bush and planting in straight lines... its really pretty comical if you think about it... I was also pretty sour after from all the squatting but I am told it gets easier and faster as we go... I hope they are right!!!
Thats all for this day... :) :) :)
