The first day of work.

A new season has arrived, ready or not. The calendar tells me I must go out to work today. The rainy week that will following tells me it will be a light start. That’s okay, because like the first day of school, even with new shoes, I am a little nervous and a little excited. The covers sure felt nice this morning, I could have easily stayed, but pushed my sleepy body to the floor and eventually to the coffee pot. My trailer is painted, my blades are sharpened, I have new shovels and new shoes (did I mention that!). I am anticipating some remaining snow banks, and some matted wet leaves, but also some returning and emerging bulbs, some damaged branches to remove or mend, some plants to encourage with their first dose of organic fertilizer…and the happy face of my customer as we greet each other after a long respite. So, I’ll pack my lunch, and whistle “hi ho”…for it’s off to work I go!
