Well, here it is - the update. Last night on the Bachelorette, Jillian took her men to Whistler, B.C. It was absolutely stunning - Whistler, I mean...well, I guess the men were too! Front runner still seems to be Kiptyn - he's a kisser - as are Wes, Jesse and Michael. Tanner, Jake and Mark are huggers. Jillian sent hugger, Mark packing at the end of the episode, so I guess she likes the kissers.
Turmoil of the night was when Ed chose to leave and go back to his job. I think that if a place can't get along without you for 6 weeks out of a year, then they haven't structured the company properly. It brings up an interesting point - when it comes to relationships, do you choose your job or your loved ones. For myself, being in the garden centre business, I frequently choose work in the height of the season. It has taken the people that surround me 4 years to come to terms with it, but I think now they just accept it and wait for October to roll around so they can spend some time with me again. Its finding that balance the continues to elude me...
It was another fantastic weekend at Spruce - it was super busy with people looking for plants and giftware to 'Spruce Up' their yards (ha!) Most popular items that I saw flying out of there were the Blue Moon Wisteria (new Wisteria that is hardy for our climate - I bought one, so I'll let you know how it does), the mini Clematis vines (so cute!) and of course, the huge trees (for that instant mature look for the yard). Annuals were a big seller too - perhaps it was the three days of frost earlier in the week that brought people back in to fill in their pots up again! Anyways, it was a busy day Monday for all of us trying to order more stock for this week - both Pat and I put in huge orders for plants and giftware. If there's a recession going on, we certainly aren't seeing it at Spruce...
Have a fabulous week!
