Cleanin’ Up
Submitted by My Garden Spot Blog
A couple of weeks ago, ‘Pup went into work on a Saturday afternoon. He does that sometimes when he’s got a project that needs finishing, or because he’s had a doctor’s appointment earlier that week and wants to make up some hours. He doesn’t have to do it, but he does, because he wants to do a good job. It hurts him not to do a good job.
Anyway, there, on the wall of the building were hanging a couple of men, using pressure washers to clean the outside stone of the building. It was amazing to see just how much grime there was to wash off, that had accumulated from the city air. The stone didn’t look dirty before the stones next to it were clean…
The sight of the men, hanging there in the full heat of a Houston summer day made me very glad that I got to garden and work outside by choice. Though, I must say, they didn’t look all that unhappy, themselves. It might have been a chore to hang there, swinging back and forth, blasting water onto hot stone, but somehow, they kinda looked like they might be having a little fun.
Humm.. men. Hanging by a rope off the roof of a building, blasting stone and swinging back and forth. Come to think of it… I think one of my brothers would have volunteered for the job….
