Trash pickup and painting the perimeter wall

our after lunch job. We worked on the wall from 2-4 pm. In the morning and until 1:30, we picked up trash along the fence. Today completed our third day of cleaning up the property. We, Mark and I and sometimes others, filled five large city trash containers.

After painting the wall, Mark and I cut used and emptied Cal Earth bags into 16″ x 16″ squares for using for water proof testing.

For dinner, Mark caramelized onions to add to the rice, lentils, and mushroom dish. Will and Talia made spicy mac and cheese and not spicy vegan mac and cheese with a fruit smoothie that everyone loved. Ten of us ate dinner and six of us helped do the dishes. Cherokee and Antonio at the sink washing and scrubbing and singing Latin songs. I dried dishes, along with Mark. Mark put dishes away and sometimes handed them to Annie to put away. Mark Harmon, one of the instructors and director for this week wiped the counters. Great teamwork! Now it is finally bedtime!
