first day with Notre Dame

Today was my first day with the new group and oh man was it a busy one...if I had to put a label on it Id say it was the odd job day. We started off heading to Holy Redeemer to tear out two massive sick rose bushes. After many pricked fingers, we used a chain and the big red truck and tore it out. We pulled all the roots and then drove slowly back to the farm..built a fire and slowly burned the massive thing down. Apparently it was infecting other plants...not sure exactly but it was a big job. Then we used old wood to measure out pieces to make a house for our new cat Mau for the winter...I got to use the circular saw and everything and the girls nailed it and painted it...at the same time, the other half of the group was mowing the farm...which is a whole days work in itself...so needless to say...it was a busy day
