Working in the garden

No, this is not what you think it might mean. I am a full time tele-commuter now that works in the IT industry. Many hours of my time are spent on the telephone withe clients and coworkers across the globe. When I get on a particularly difficult call I will often times pace around the house. Sometimes this drives the wife and the dogs to distraction and I get sent out back.

Today was just one of those calls that took a great deal of effort to keep myself calm on and it entailed many trips around the back garden to keep my cool. After the call was over, My friend (Sir Tri of Pod) and I managed to take a few snaps to share with you.

My attire for the day..

The various Daylillys around the back garden

And let's not forget the yellow cannas that are in bloom everywhere.

and of course my wifes potted tropicals that are scattered hither and yon, including this hibiscus;

I can think of no finer way of reducing the stress of the job that spending time in the outdoors with such a colorful display. I now understand why I have a thing for the 'brighter' tartans!

Well, maybe it's not what I thought - But somebody has been working very hard in that garden to produce those lovely blooms! If it wasn't you, thentell your good wife that "She done good!"

Oh - and you look the very Scottish gentleman.
