    Another Day at the Office

    I’ve been working on Lake Zoar in Monroe CT the last couple days.  The weather this week has been beautiful.  High 50’s to low 60’s and sunny.  Last week I worked in a drizzle mixed with snowflakes.

    The improved weather is a welcome change.

    The picture at the top of this post is a fire pit overlooking Lake Zoar.  If you look over the end of the dock you can see the Stevenson Dam in the distance.

    Below is one of the gardens I’ve worked in.  It’s straight forward spring maintenance; clean up leaves and sticks, weed, prune winter damage, cut back perennials, edge, turn mulch and re-mulch.

    Besides working on a lake there are two streams flanking the property.  I’ve listened to babbling brooks most of the day.

    Babbling BrookNo matter how far in my career I am mother nature beats me every time.  She uses just the right mix of elegance and randomness.  If we take a moment to truly look at nature she is something to behold.

    I urge you to go out and look at, not rush through, nature. It does wonders for the mind and body.  Time to head to work. Poor me. 🙂
