Careful, Malchus

This gentelman is the gardener.

I mean, really, how cool is that?!?!? The Official Full-time Gardener of the Garden of Gethsemane. THAT is exactly the job I want! I am serious. As I watched him, this friendly gentelman clipped the olive trees, pruned a few of the shrubs, and took cameras from time to time from toursists to snap pictures for them from inside the garden. That is from inside The GARDEN of Gethsemane. I'm going back to ask for an application tomorrow. (OK, I am not serious about that. But I have to believe that having "Bachman's" on my resume would make me a pretty strong candidate.)

If you mention you are with the High Priest, this gentleman will come at your ears with his clipper. Be careful not to joke around about that near him. (I was looking at the picture below, because upon review tonight, I THOUGHT I saw a very old ear right over on the edge of the path.) But then.....I do believe that got re-attached........ didn't it?

The videos I have taken with my generous daughters' cameras are proving to take much too long to upload on my computer. However, there are some clips on "YouTube" created by others that give the very same feeling.....and feature the same gardener! I want that job!!!

Here is one of them.
