Tuesday, August 15, 2017 – Clean & Weed Wm Weeks, Brigham Young home, Mulch Diagonal Sidewalk, Sarah Granger Cast Perform Rendezvous

Our day at work started by cleaning and weeding the grounds and flowerbeds of the historic home of William Weeks. It also includes cleaning, weeding and deadheading the large Nauvoo Visitor’s Center entry flower bed just west of the Weeks home.

Next we continued on our regular rounds of cleaning and weeding. Our next stop was as the historic home of Brigham Young. We cleaned and weeded there until our mid-morning break.

 

Our final project for the day was mulching the diagonal side walk. For the last few days, Emilie Roper one of FM’s interns, has been cataloging and planting the fancy, hybrid and specialty Lilies that were dug up behind the historic home of Jonathan Browning. She’s finally finished with all of the planting along the Diagonal Sidewalk so today we finished mulching the full length of flowerbeds along sidewalk.

When we started work this morning it was mild, overcast and very pleasant. However later in the day the clouds went away, the sun came out and the humidity was high so it was real sweating weather. In the afternoon when I finished helping unload mulch I was completely soaked with perspiration. 

This evening I was asked by Sis. Jones (She plays Sophia in the “Noah & Sophia” vignette) to take pictures at the “Rendezvous in Old Nauvoo” performance by the “Sarah Granger” cast. We don’t get the opportunity very often of seeing different casts perform “Rendezvous” so this was a real treat. Thank you Sis. Jones for asking me, it was a lot of fun, I took hundreds of pictures! I will burn you a DVD real soon.
