I weeded for several hrs last week for one of my customers. They had a large brush pile at the back of their property. I told her I could she how much of that I could haul away for them. So a couple days this week I spent only a bit over two hours hauling away what I could-no access to yard other than carrying in arms to truck. I did the best I could and emailed her some suggestions on composting the leaves. This wasn't a big deal for me to do this for her. I stopped by her work to get check and she had written out another check for $50!!! (I'm also giving her asparagus as we have lots)
I told Neil they get all our spare asparagus and told her she didn't have to do this-she said to get a massage for all my hard work!!
(I got one last yr and the massage therapist said I was the stiffest person she ever worked on!!
So that really made my day!!! (and the $150 I spent on plants helped too)

Wishing I were anywhere but here
That was nice of her!! Oh....I love buying plants! It is therapeutic for me!
My mom may not always agree...she thinks I put potholes in the backyard....but you should see her brag when people come over. I'm the one who is digging the holes anyway!

Isn't it nice to get a little extra in appreciation? It really does make your day!
And if you have any asparagus left, feel free to send some my way too!
