This should give you an idea what my week has been like. Today is Wednesday and I just got to visit the Friday Five. These are the questions for the week:
1. What do you do for a living?
I am the office for my husband’s masonry corporation. I am the receptionist, the bookkeeper, the filing clerk, computer repair person, human resources specialist, the OSHA officer, legal laison, typist, and general all around dog’s body.
2. What do you like most about your job?
The freedom to work around my other obligations
3. What do you like least about your job?
Incessant repetitive paperwork.
4. When you have a bad day at work it’s usually because _____…
Some jerk in another office who doesn’t know how to do their own job has dumped their problems on me and expects an instant fix. I’m good, but I’m not perfect.
5. What other career(s) are you interested in?
I’d like to own a quilt shop or a book shop, or teach adults how to read. There are days I’d like to be a hired hand at a garden nursery, and I think it might be interesting to be a conference planner or a concierge at an elegant hotel.

Violets
The violets have started to bloom!
Part of our lot was once a horse pasture. There are trees that divide it into sections, making it almost look like it has rooms. The part that is south of the house has areas that are totally covered in violets. There’s a patch of trillium that Dear Husband has been told not to mow down, a section of trout lilies that he insists on mowing, and a stretch of May apples growing among the trees on the east edge of the property. Soon we’ll see naturalized phlox blooming there, too.
When I first started my gardens I left the violets because I didn’t have enough plants to fill the space. Then it became a contest to fill in around them. Now, I rip them out of the gardens with abandon, because I know that we have violets all over the place! Still…..it’s a special time when their deep purple, or blue or white flowers open up and cover the ground.
