The party's over
I'm a very fortunate guy because I'm one of the few that actually likes winter. It's just so peaceful, calm, and relaxing. I like sleeping in til about 8:00, sipping on some good strong coffee, and watching the birds in the bird feeder. I might take a trip to the market, come home, put on some jazz, open a bottle of wine, and cook up some osso bucco, or maybe beef bourguignon. You know, a nice hardy, winter kind of dish. I get angry at the weather man when he talks jealously about the weather their having in Florida, or says stuff like "only two more months until the first day of spring" What makes him think I'm in a big rush for spring?
It's not like I don't work at all, I do, I'd go crazy if I didn't, but it's just me and the owner of the business, and he and I are very like minded when it comes to winter. So we work 8-4 four days a week. We are closed for the last three weeks of December and the first week of January for the holidays. I also take a week off in February while my son is out of school for mid winter break, It's a nice schedule.
Well we held off calling in the guys for as long as we could. Winter haters rejoice, spring is here.
The frost laws are coming off, we're digging trees, potting plants, and starting to sell a few things. I have to say, I don't think things are going to be as bad as we all thought they where going to be. I'm not expecting to set any records this year, but I think we'll do, um, okay.
We are loaded with plants and ready to go
Something new I'm going to try this year is to keep an inventory and e-mailit out once a month. It will look something like this...
So if you're ready to start landscaping, and ya need some plants, swing on by, it'd be great to see ya. Also, if you'd like me to e-mail you our availability, go to the contact page of the web site and send me an e-mail. Or just call.
