We are going to garden, like legit garden. This isn’t just oh make it pretty anymore…this is let’s get some produce rolling so the restaurant can use it! Which is all fun….but ummm we have a LOT to learn!
Seeds started this week: (and I’m sure more to come!)
25- spinach
50- wild humming bird flower mix
50- lavender
50- peppermint
50- tomatoes
25- parsley
Raking fields: upon arrival I thought there was some wasteland near the green house…fun fact that’s the garden/field…
Days off: as long as the work is done we get to pick our days off, we picked Sunday and Friday this week. We haven’t had Sundays off this entire time we’ve been gone, sooo we got to go to church!!!
Church ⛪️:
We found a church about 30 mins away, and that town has the biggest/closest grocery store…so we now have a Sunday norm….go to church, get lunch and groceries for the week. The kiddos get to be in the same class for kids church and are enjoying it!
Zion:
It’s just a unique area! Red and white mountains with dark evergreens. There are lines and curves that are so soft….yet made of stone. It looks like lava had oozed and then stopped! 100% the best kid hiking we’ve been around. They can go pretty much anywhere just hiking right along!
Perk:
Free lunches. Everyday there is free lunch for employees!! You go to the back entrance of restaurant and bam free hot meal. We’ve had a couple of different pastas, chicken wrap, Mexican type dishes. It’s been an array but almost always something we’ve never had and it’s been fun to mix up the menu!
Laundry:
At our other jobs we’ve always had free laundry, not here. It’s $1.50 to wash and another $1.50 to dry, thankfully some of the cheapest we’ve seen in that regard. Paying for laundry but getting the free lunches is a switch we’re happy to make!
It’s a small world after all: 🌎
Soooo the craziest moment thus far with humans goes like this… while we were in Tucson we had neighbors that were there for almost a month. Sweet little family. They went on their way. Last we knew they were in CA. Well….I was out in the field working and Chase is on the little tractor, next thing I know a pick up pulls up and a lady is frantically waving at me. Somehow they saw us and recognized us, and we ended up having a great evening and dinner with them. Soooooo insane! I can’t even imagine what the odds of the timing of this occurring but God is good and it happened!
