The project continued on Monday. Owen sorted through stuff that won't go back into the shed. Valiant attempt but too much to do in one day so it still sits on my driveway, but we made lots of progress. Meanwhile, I weeded flower beds so I could be outside with him. These are my hydrangeas that were totally lost under weeds, poison oak, a blueberry vine and a stray strawberry plant. Now they are papered and ready for mulch. Greg had cut them way back so I didn't even know if they were really there anymore so it was a nice surprise.
Here are my lamb's ear. I love this stuff, its furry and it grows and grows. Greg told me that the whole plant has moved. The original plant was in the bare spot and it took off everywhere. Then the original plant got old and tired and died. I am hoping it will fill it completely. Low maintenance is the goal.
After gardening....our reward....Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian.
It was okay. Enjoyable but I liked the first one better. Started slow but did better toward the end. Some of the writing was cheesy.
Kitchen crew.
Breakfast is first so people can wake up, eat and then be alert for the ceremony.
Never a straight face....sleeping is occuring in the background.
We lost Greg during breakfast...so when I investigated, he had been recruited to set up the sound. I think he was born with the ability.
Mark P., in his living history garb, started the program by telling about the Mormon Battalion's role in our military history, particularly California.
Brandon played Taps for the flag raising.
