More "Odds and Ends"

Friday, Rich, Guillerme and I went back to the property in Needham, where we had started the large cleanup and trim job before it rained. We finished the cleanup and trimming and finally got around to edging the beds and putting down 10 yards of brown mulch. It was not enough to finish the yard so we will be back on Saturday to finish up and then next week, we will "slice seed the entire front lawn.

Saturday, my plans changed and I had to go with Guillerme, to mow the lawn at the property that is in the above picture. (Those are the wolf tree's, I spoke about in a prior post, you can see how their size, just dwarfs the Dogwood that is in full bloom.) Rich and another guy went back to finish the mulch job.

Guillerme and I, then headed over to the home that is used by the President of Babson College. We had to mow the lawn and go through all of the beds and weed and trim so everything looked very nice for this week's activities. This is a big week at Babson, and there is going to be a large tent, in the area of the blue stone patio, which is in the first picture on the left.

Magnolia Tree and Mulching

Rich and Rodrigo and Wagner, came with me today to mulch the property, that is used by the President of Olin College. It will take us all day to mulch, as it has a large amount of mulched beds. We used over 2 dump trucks full of "brown pine mulch"

The President's wife, had purchased a new "Virginia" Dogwood tree that she wanted us to plant. You can see Rich and Rodrigo digging the hole for it in the picture on the left.
The Healthy Start Fertilizer, is in the orange bucket and organic "blue mussel" compost is in the white bag next to it. She wants the tree to get off to a good start. She chose this particular variety because of it's late season blooming characteristic.

The President's wife is a sweetheart and always gets us coffee and something to eat from Dunkin Donuts. We reeally appreciate a treat like this on a very cool spring day. We were able to complete the whole job before it started to rain again.

I was glad to be going home a bit early today because it allowed me the time to go hame and shower, and change clothes. I had to go to a Network Marketing workshop in Marlboro, at 7 PM. It was given by Tom "Big Al" Scheiter. He is the Chairman of the Network Marketing Company, I work for.
