This week has not been enjoyable so far. Given that the week has just started, this does not bode well. Today we were hedge trimming the massive plumbago hedge next to the highway. On the plus side it wasnt a hot day like it was the last time we pruned it, but it did rain a bit in the morning. Now, bit of back story, I am the tallest person at he bunker. Please dont think of me as a giant, I just work with small people. So, being the tallest Im put on the pole hedgetrimmer as I can reach further while the other two did the outside of the hedge. Now even though the hedgetrimmer Im using is on the end of a big stick, I still have to stromp through the hedge to reach places of it. When the hedge is wet from all the rain, I was soaked from belly button to big toe in a couple of minutes. My socks felt like sponges. Not a particularly pleasant feeling on a cool day. In the middle of my mental grumblings about how generally unfair life is at present, I spy this little guy sitting quietly in an area I had just pruned! He made me smile. Im chalking that up as a win.
