Things seem to move more slowly now that one has only one site to watch. Things are happening on the theater site, but not as dramatically as in the earlier days, at least not for the present. However, bricks parked near the site do stir the imagination. Certainly things will get very dramatic (it is a theater site, after all) when the steel girders arrive and more walls begin to sprout. One can observe easily that scaffolding is removed from the south wall, revealing the holes, presumably for the girders, as viewed from the fourth floor porch. (The photo for the day shows the east side of the theater, close to the building, revealing the temporary fire exit.)
On that porch, by the way, the Sisters have their own yard, so to speak. It is tended lovingly by Sister M. Shauna, the resident president, who minds the beauty element with several planters, and Sr. M. Ethel, our agriculturalist, who is raising peppers, tomatoes, and herbs. While the flowers come to the end of their season, the harvest of edibles is going strong.
Luckily, geese don’t go for flowers and edibles, but they love routing through the hay on the soccer field to find the treasured grass seed. We can only hope there’s some left to sprout. The law must be observed (recall that the field may not be left bare)! The geese care nothing for the law, but they are mighty impressed when a dog is set loose on the field. "Another day," they honk as they depart.
