Breadcrumbs Leading to Friday

What is it about Fridays that they seem to come so quickly? Some weeks I can barely remember what happened from Monday through Thursday? I do remember that this past Monday I felt sick as a dog. {where did that saying come from by the way?} I really don't like that saying anymore as you'll discover in a future post.

This week did fly by though for me..

Alas, I found out that I will be going back to work full-time next Monday. Hmm. What does that mean for blogland? Well, it means that I need to fine tune my posting and take advantage of the "Schedule" posting options when I can. Believe it or not, I just found that option in blogger! 

Lots of work needs to be done at my garden center and I am up for the challenge I decided today. It was a day for me to pull up my boot straps and realize that our busiest season is just weeks away and I have to polish up my game. With hands in bleached water today I was scrubbing and cleaning displays and of course enjoying every minute of it.

It has been a week of more interviews, four new hires and anticipation of good things to come with a little sadness mixed in just to balance out the week. The sadness part I will refrain upon writing at this point as I will be dedicating an entire post to that and a later time.

What I am looking forward to is the continued melting of the snow around my house. However, I realize I have enough kindling to last me about eight years from now. I visited my compost pile not too long ago and realized that the waste I've been adding is definitely being consumed by the layering snow and rain. A good thing for sure. I can't wait to get my pitch fork in it and turn it to add some air within the pile. Isn't odd how a person can get so excited about a compost pile? 

I went into the den today and realized that my Australian Tree Fern is kicking every other of my houseplants butts by producing more and more fronds as the days go by. Here I was afraid that it would not survive inside.. HA! I beat the odds! This is one beautiful fern worthy to be in anyone's garden, even if in a beautiful container.

I banged up my knee again last night as I swear the throw rug moved just as I was walking past it and fell on the floor. These pesky throw rugs.. some times they throw me for a curve!

It's been quite a week here a Tranquil Acres but hopefully the sun will rise and make way for a better, brighter calmer week ahead.. I hope you have had a good week full of joys and smiles..

Before I end, let me give you this little tid bit I learned today about batteries.. I'm sure you all use batteries in your home, and realize how costly they can become. So, watch this and maybe you'll save some money..

Recharge your wallet on me!
