The Wifes "office" and former abode

[Graehstone]

... or rather just one of the rows in her greenhouse that she takes care of.
Boy, talk about a crappy job huh? lol


I think all in all there are five or six such rows just in that one greenhouse.

Then after slogging through Orchid jungles ten hours a day she comes home to the following.


That used to be the living room window in the apartment that we lived in for nine years before we were fortunate enough to have been able to move into an affordable house with yard. Yay Yard!!! lol
That "collection" has since grown somewhat ... can you spell A D D I C T E D?

Do you feel the pressure to produce? Hear me, now... You are under a lot of pressure to NOT screw up and ruin her reputation! Feel the pressure! Now when someone takes care of the 'chids, they're called a "nanny". So you be da nanny

I'm a Nanny?!?
Looked at it like that I guess I could add that to my Résumé right along side Vacuum cleaner Pilot, Linoleum Masseuse and Parrot Gopher, lol.
She brought another one home the other day that just blew me out of my socks ... talk about huge ... I'll see if I can find the camera and take a pic and post it here.

Hot diggity dog, the camera was actually where it was supposed to be ... didn't have to stumble around looking for the blasted thing, lol ... anyhow, here is the MONSTER that my sweety brought home.




Dendrobium Crysotoxim (?) (Probably totally butchered the spelling there but, hey... I'm only an underpaid Nanny)
So it has to hang smack dab in the middle of everything ... cuz thar t'aint no more room already!
About six years or so ago right when she started working there, she had to mount some things for the first time and the boss had told her to go ahead and "build" one for herself. Well hanging in the greenhouse for all these years kind of did it just a tad on the good side as far as allowing it to grow in the direction it wanted to.
Now that we have our own space ... the madness gets serious.

... I was just struck by something (and it wasn't the seeds and stuff that my Parrots always throw at me ... and some of those little buggers have great aim too ... anyhow I digress from my digression) I wrote "underpaid" there didn't I?
Pay!?! What's that? I don't even get an allowance! She keeps me barefoot (Thank the heavens I can't get pregnant!) and shackled to the cleaning supply closet all day long.

Vacuum Cleaner Pilot..... I like that! I will add that one to my Domestic Engineer, Woodburning Goddess repertoire. Thanks!
I love that greenhouse!!!!! Your wife works in heaven, and a crowded one at that. kiki-do

Gosh! How can she bear being forced to go to work there?

Graehstone The Orchid Nanny...
I can visualize the next big reality show already!

Think their might be a connection here?

[shakkai]

I'd consider paying them to let me work there! Want to adopt a daughter??? I'd be happy to split the housework with ya!

[Becca]

My dream job is to work in a greenhouse, preferably with orchids and in a place just like the pictures you showed! I drool at the sight of that!

[Tindomul]

She obviously works in very bad conditions. Surround by dark green tropical growth, sweet scents of blooms and sunlight, warmth and high humidty(which can't be good for the skin). She should just get up and leave. And let me know when she plans on doing it so I can have a chat with the boss about the...uh... horrible situation.
