Just when I'm starting to get used to my Oregonian life, we're packing up and leaving.
Well, not literally, but in a two weeks.
I've got to say I never thought I'd get so attached to a place so quickly, but the Garden is just so lovable. Every day I thank God for the beauty that is the green lusciousness that surrounds us. Sure, it's raining every day, and sure, it's always cold, but it's some how beautiful.
But it's not only the Garden that I'm going to miss, it's also our site supervisor. Jeff is truly an remarkable guy. Funny, knowledgeable, and eager to teach and learn. Not only does he teach us so much about the garden but he's also knowledgeable about Oregon and the surrounding area. He could certainly have a job as a travel guide if horticulture doesn't work out.
Lastly, I'm going to miss the luxury that is the Oregon Garden Resort. No, it's not like we're getting free massages or comp rooms. We do however frequent the lounge for a nice glass of wine (those of us who are able), great blues music, and of course, the hot tube. Nothing soothes better after a long day of manual labor and physical training that wine and relaxing in hot water.
Over all, the Garden is a great project and I'm not looking forward to leaving on January 29th.
