this morning i was up at 6:30 bright and early! ok, more like cloudy and snowy but whatever! anyways, i went to breakfast and then our van rolled out at eight o'clock on the dot! it took us about an hour to drive literally the thirteen miles to our site because of traffic. it was crazy. luckily, i had my ipod!
our first project is working at bluff lake nature center. we'll be doing a handful of things in our thirteen days there but today we started with clearing off the land. they cut down a lot of trees that were soaking up all the water in the area and killing other plants so we had to pile all of it together and into a pick up truck. it took all day and we still aren't done with that one field. tomorrow we'll finish it off and then head to another field.
luckily, the park is really pretty. there's lots of trees and grass and the lake.
the not so lucky part was the snow. while it was seriously pretty it is really really really hard to work in... you're cold and so you bundle up and then moving so much you get hot but if you take off your jacket you're cold instantly. it's so confusing! but, colorado is insane- the weather literally almost instantly. it snowed for a couple hours this morning but by the time we left the center it was all melted. crazy!
overall it was a great day. i'm a little sore from all that lifting and cutting but i know i'll get used to it.
hope everyone else is doing great and enjoying south carolina's amazing weather!
xoxo,
B
