Wow, blogging during the busy season is tough - there is so much going on, but you have no time to write about it, and then before you know it you have forgotten what you were gonna write about! Meryl offered to be a guest blogger, but I haven't yet trusted him with the HUGE responsibility. I have tried to write a Bachelorette update, but everytime I sit down to do it in the evenings, I realize that my Bachelorette file is at work (yes, I have a file - this is serious stuff).
No Bachelorette update today, but will raise my glass to the Pittsburgh Penguins - exciting game tonight to win the cup over the Detroit Red Wings. It doesn't matter what sport, job or event it is, it always chokes me up when you see people fighting for something that means so much to them. When what you are doing is your passion, it is interesting to see what you are capable of. It's like the garden centre/landscaping industry - it's not for the faint-of-heart. In the height of the season, it is not unreasonable to see staff work seven days a week and possibly 10 hours a day. The only thing that makes that possible, is if it is your total passion (or you need to support a spouse and 4 children, and even then, you may lose your mind by the end of June!) It also helps when you can look at the people standing next to you, and feel admiration and friendship, knowing that they are going through the same trials and tribulations!
The perennials, annuals, trees and shrubs continue to roll off the truck. It is awesome to hear the oohs! and aahs! when plants get unpacked and placed. Judi (our supervisor of Perennials/Annuals) brings a sample upstairs everytime an exciting, new plant arrives! It's wonderful when the seasonal workers share the passion. A job is far more rewarding when you are doing something that excites you. I love the feeling of waking up and being excited to get to work - I have the greatest job ever!
Much happiness....
