Today was national "Make a difference day". So that meant all the teams had different projects in the surrounding area. The first project that my team had was for a lady and her community garden that was huge, that she had in her back yard. She needed all the plants taken out, ready for next years garden. Because of our height, one team mate (Morgan) and I were in charge of trimming a tree, which we got to use a few saws to cut about three large tree limbs down. We were also in charge of trimming this beautiful metal arch that had roses rapping around the whole structure. And trimming a few of the fruit trees she had. The project was really fun and we always had something new to do that kept us busy. When we finished all her tasks the garden looked beautiful! You could see the walkway that goes through the garden and everything was open and looked well managed.
The next project that we had was at a compost company, and we had to uproot tons of tall dead grass that was behind the mulch piles. It was definitely tiring but that is one reason why I love manual type labor because I get so much satisfaction knowing that all the hard work paid off.
It makes me that more excited to go do all the other projects with them and achieve challenges along the way.
The team!
