I've learned in the last two days what putting in full, physical days are all about. I snipped, pushed, dug, sweat, banged myself up good on a metal stairway and can still say, I don't miss working in the office! I am so grateful to have this chance, an opportunity to see what life is like from this angle, and I suspect it not the last angle I will see.
One very interesting similarity between this and being a working journalist is the invisibility it affords, maybe even more so since I am not just moving around the scene of a convention or Olympics, I am moving through the lives of people. The feeling is that same, that I am playing in the background.
Now instead of doing service to report the news I am doing what my husband calls quiet service to the plant world.
Today we finished up an irrigation job in the backyard of a townhouse then we went to increase the water for some plants living high above Park Ave. Big Exhale...
