When my son was in high school, he began to work for a landscaping company.
My sister once said something to him about getting bored cutting grass all day long.
He was a bit upset when he proudly told her that he has never cut grass. After nearly three years of working in landscaping, he found out that his passion was in the artistic side of the landscaping.. He ended up with a really good job that had him making figures out of shrubs. He does some lovely work with the pines and other evergreens. Since he was working out in the hot sun, whenever he came home in the afternoon, all he wanted was good food and the air conditioning. He would pull his dad’s recliner nearer to the air vents so the air conditioning could wash over him. I often had to wake him up when his dinner was ready. My husband and I both knew it was going to be a tough job, but he loves it so much. He is so good with the landscape artistry he does, that other landscaping companies are calling him to do jobs for their customers. I think he will soon be going freelance if this keeps up. He told us that he would probably be moving out once he graduates. He needs to have good air conditioning, so I’m sure it will be awhile before he moves into someplace else. His girlfriend complains that he doesn’t come to her house because she doesn’t have good air conditioning. He threatened to stay in our home even after they get married.
