My Love/Hate Relationship with Technology

This weekend I received my first smart phone.  I'm struggling to get used to the dual bonging of my tablet and phone registering a work-related email.  One of those bongs has got to go!  To make up for all this technology, we had a "no drive" day.  No need for the car!  The bikes can get us to the pool just fine, thank you, and isn't a day spent harvesting goodies from your garden about all you need for entertainment?  We think so! 

On the other hand, I am sort of falling in love with Instagram.  I know I'm a late comer to the ap; I usually am, but I'm having fun with yet another way to take pictures of my gardens!

Work at Home Day

I needed to write today, and by write I mean 'make major progress on a report', so I worked from home.   It was amazing.  Everyone else was gone, my phone didn't ring and I turned my email off.  I was able to accomplish more actual work than I had in four days at the office.  

I love my home office.  I love the soothing color of the walls ("desert tan") and the southwestern art we've hung.  I love its unclutteredness.  And most of all, I love its window!  I picked one the prettiest days so far this year to work from this office.  So glad I was able to enjoy these views as the fruits of my labor!
