St., Sarah Granger Kimball
Yesterday the tree
removal crew took out a cedar tree at the home of FM’s director, Jordan Bodily.
The Cedar tree, like all of the trees that are removed, was put through the
wood chipping machine. FM uses the wood chips as ground cover around the trees,
in public areas that are not paved, down the trail of Hope, etc. But this Cedar tree is different from the
other hardwoods like the Oak, Maple and Walnut that are removed and chipped.
The Cedar chips smell wonderful! So, it was decided that the aromatic Cedar
chips be put on the ground in another heavily used public area, “Pioneer
Pastimes.” Early this morning we got to enjoy the heavenly scent of Cedar wood
as we spread Cedar chips on the ground at the “Pioneer Pastimes” site. It was a
very pleasant assignment.
We had another full day
of work and we got a lot done. Unless our boss, Richard Hancock has something
special for us to do like spreading Cedar chips, we weed and clean the historic
sites all day, every day. Today we started at the north end of Old Main Street
and weeded and cleaned every historic site of the West side of the street. While
Elder Kyle Johnson and I spread Cedar chips at the Pioneer Pastimes site, Sis.
Johnson and the ladies on our grounds keeping crew cleaned and weeded the
Cultural hall and the Scovil Bakery. Elder Kyle Johnson and I joined the rest
of the crew and we continued on down to the Tinsmith Shop, the Post Office, the
home of John Taylor and the Printing Shop.
Next we finished cleaning and weeding the historic
home of Sarah Granger Kimball. We got a good start on the site yesterday and we
finished the rest of it today. Another busy day and we got a lot done.
