I started the day by doing the last big watering of the gardens around Nauvoo. It was cool, and I got very wet for some reason. I'd done this job before, but it was warm and I didn't notice the wet. I need to get some boots.
After watering we cleaned up around some trees, healthy ones, and dressed them with wood chips.
Then we weeded.
After work I went over to the Family Living Center and Sister McLeod instructed me in the art of weaving. It was my favorite part of the week.
Then Elder McLeod showed us where to find geodes. There are geodes all over this part of Illinois.
And Sister McLeod bequeathed her boots on me, because they will be going home soon. Thank you so much.
The weaving looks very satisfying! I can't wait to come see, touch, smell, and taste Nauvoo with you.
ReplyDeleteMe either, and that's exactly what is done here. All of the senses, including the spiritual, are engaged.
