Our garden just loves what ever it is that our gardeners did this year. Akhil and I helped, of course, especially when it comes to planting and weeding, but the regular attention which we were NOT giving it on our own made a big impact. We're amazed daily by what pops up out there. We got a few new roses this year, mostly from a couple of trips down to Roger's Gardens in Costa Mesa. If you're living out here and haven't been, you have to check it out - it's like a Disneyland of plants. I think we got some other plants and stuff there too - oh yeah, a hydrangea. California makes you feel like a real green thumb, even if you're not. I get why they call this the Rose City - you just stick 'em in the dirt -- and they grow.
We had beers and junk food for dinner tonight -- sorry, but that's what working like nutballs will do to you. I suppose work exhausts everybody this much but lately this just seems crazy. I mean, for him - 7 days a week, 14 hours a day, and for me it's just about 50 hours a week but each and every minute, second is packed with brain-busting tasks. Like playing Sudoku all day, every day. Wonder if my brains will grow...
