April 07, 2007Lunch Break in the GardenFor about a week and a half now, I've worked 15 to 16 hour days with very few breaks. (It's finally over! Yay!) And I've re-learned some things about myself in that time. Most importantly, that I just do not have the stamina for those hours on a sustained basis. I'm definitely not in college anymore. I've also been reminded of how wonderful my life generally is, even when I work 10 hours a day, 5 days a week. Last Saturday, Moxie and Zosh stopped by my office to bring me lunch, and we went out in the garden for about 45 minutes to enjoy it. It was a wonderful break. I'm so lucky to work in the setting that I do, where it's not a problem for your husband and dog to come visit, and to have a wonderful husband and a kooshie puppy to do that visiting. I'm very spoiled.

ROFL... I have always been bad with names :) I did mean the pup, not your hubby! Posted by: reluctantmango at April 15, 2007 05:58 AMWhat an incredible garden--it's good that you can decompress right outside your office. I think less parking lots would be good for everybody! Posted by: MJ at April 14, 2007 09:55 AMOMG, what a beautiful garden! Where is that? Posted by: Nonnahs at April 10, 2007 05:06 PMStunning. Wow. Would live in that garden if I could. Posted by: Tana at April 9, 2007 07:52 AMWhat a lovely place! I'm headed down toward your neck of the woods in a few weeks, and I had been dreading it. But now I'm excited! Posted by: Amy at April 8, 2007 07:48 AMheehee...your reply made me laugh. i lurve the nasturiums (i think that is what they are). you can eat them in salad if they are free of any weird growing additives. isn't spring just divine, i am aching to get out there...soon. i'll let you know about april dates...i see the doc tuesday. yay! Posted by: mamie at April 7, 2007 06:12 PMMoxie is a full-bred homo sapien. Or at least that is what I was told when I signed on for this marriage thing. Zosh (Zosia) is also a pure breed - an East German German Shepherd from working rather than show lines. She's the best. Moxie's not all bad, either, though from time to time I have considered returning him to the breeder. xox, I'm lucky to work at a nursery, so we have beautiful grounds as well... but ours are nowhere near as colorful as yours right now! Everything's still dormant and brown. Seeing your pictures makes me excited for what's to come!! btw... what breed is your Moxie? Posted by: reluctantmango at April 7, 2007 03:44 PMVery lucky indeed. so cute - both of them. Posted by: Amy Boogie at April 7, 2007 12:33 PMThat looks like pure heaven to me... Just bliss. :) Posted by: frecklegirl jess at April 7, 2007 12:05 PMWhat a gorgeous place to work (or at least take a break from work)! I'm quite envious! And I'm sure you deserve every bit of the spoiling the hubby and puppy provide! Posted by: Leah at April 7, 2007 09:45 AMI don't know why it never clicked before that Zosia was a black German Shepherd, maybe because when we adopted ours, Holly, she was already a little over a year old, so I never saw her as a puppy. But these latest photos really remind me of her! They're gorgeous dogs, aren't they? Posted by: Angela at April 7, 2007 09:44 AMGod, what a great garden. I just love it. But what's more important is YAY, a break from the grind. It's going to feel like a vacation to work 40 hours a week. Posted by: Marnie at April 7, 2007 09:25 AMUmmm, nice setting for a work break! Posted by: kat at April 7, 2007 09:14 AMOh what a beautiful garden, dog and boy. But do you really mean that's the garden of your office? (That is, it's not a city park?) If so, that's one glorious place to work :) Posted by: kodachrome at April 7, 2007 08:50 AM |
