Flowers and 'The Monkey'

Today is Thursday, and I took a few shots of some early Crocus. This was the best looking one I could get. The other is of Molly, who has been sharing her house with me for the past two days.

Flower pots

Mondays...

Monday, 'The Parkway'...why is it that I spend all my time blogging about my job? Today we cut the lirope and pruned roses to finish off the road for good. (Which is just BS since there is always something to do)...but, tomorrow we pull maintenance...cold, cold today...cold tomorrow. I had on three pairs of socks, two pairs of long underwear, one pair of pants, one t shirt, one long sleeve cotton shirt, my long sleeve Columbia work shirt, a polypro pull over with hand and neck extensions, my foreman jacket and my safety vest. To keep my melon warm...a neck gator and matching hat, and finally, leather work gloves. Going from your front door to your car to the door at the office does not count as having to 'endure' the cold. 10 hours from 6am till 430pm gives you a dose you'd probably like to forget if you don't dress for it...plus, I like to be comfortable when I prune my roses.

Mom and Dad

A sunday kind of day...

I finished adding all of my photos which were in a large box collected for years and years. Here are two gems that I found. The one to the left is a shot of my grandma and grandpa 'on the mountain' circa mid 90's. The photo to the right is of my lovely sister. Look at that pink dress, or better yet...that gray cast. Wait, look at my mom's expression, for those who know her, you know what she is thinking.

Connected!

So, in my attempt to become unattached and condensed in concern to my carbon footprint I've begun to adapt for more of a nomadic lifestyle, while keeping technologically connected. All my my photos, those which I have collected since I was old enough to collect photos have become digitized...leaving behind the hard copies. My large Dell will be finding an adoptive family in Wilmington who needs it, and I will lighten the load that much sooner. Collectively, I have let go of many things, items that held more of a sentimental value than an egalitarian one. In hopes to be able to comfortably move what I own in the back of my pickup.

Oh, the photos...the pansies becon you, don't they? Cute faces, you should smell them when the afternoon sun has warmed them up. Below, my new secure connection. I am connected full time now.

Friday...alas, it's friday.

The Begonia flowered on the coldest day of the year...and I got a photo of me through the truck window at 16 degrees. It's Friday though, cheers.
