I rose this morning at 5am....grrrrr. With a few funerals today, I needed some extra special flowers for the family's floral pieces. Going to the flower market.....it's wonderful.
The drive down I-65 was pretty smooth not to much traffic, and getting across the Kennedy Bridge was breeze. As I drove into Louisville, people were making there way to the offices from the parking garage across the street from the flower market. I kinda felt sad for them... setting in a cubical all day long. Here I was surrounded by beautiful fragrant flowers. Some folks say I have the best job in the world (follow me around some days and you just might pull your hair out.)
The flowers at market were gorgeous, most of them had just gotten off the plane from South America just a few hours earlier. Where do you start....I want one of everything....but then you look at your list and you say to your self..."Stick to the list"..... Why is it exciting you say to yourself..well, 85% of the time the flowers are delivered to my shop. You only see what you have ordered. Plus with the price of gas you tend to stay close to home and let them bring them to you. Rising at 5am was well worth it.
Coming home and crossing back over the Kennedy Bridge I realized the second reason why I rose so early....the south bound traffic was backed up at least 3 miles just waiting their turn to cross the bridge.
