Moving, Mushrooms & Stucco: Ariel

The apprentices are the ones who give us our duties each day. They never cease to amaze me. There is a pile of sand next to a pile of wet carpet at the bottom of The Big Hill. There is an even bigger pile of sand next to a dump run pile at the top of The Big Hill. On Monday and Tuesday we had to load the wet carpet at the bottom of The Big Hill into a small truck. Then we had to unload it into the dump run pile at the top of The Big Hill and load lots of sand, from the sand next to the dump run pile, into the truck to unload at the sand pile at the bottom of The Big Hill. Then we had to do it all over again. ( Exhausting, right? = 0 “inaudible yelling”)It was the most exhausting thing we had ever done. Thursday was different. Albert asked me to water some mushrooms. After that we worked a little in a smaller garden beside the house. When we finally finished that we were able to go start doing some more tile work on the wall that we spent the whole week before working on. Friday was cool. I had to water the mushrooms again. I actually saw a difference in them. They became huge, literally overnight. Albert said he had already picked one hundred dollars worth of mushrooms that morning alone. (Can you believe it?) … Anyways, after I watered the mushrooms again we went back to the wall to do some more tile work. Someone made the stucco extremely soupy (Dain). = ) We got quite a bit finished that day, but we still had a lot left.
