Rooftop Garden

 Volunteer worker waiting for...???

Outside the windows of the rehab gym that my husband goes to every day Monday through Friday is a rooftop garden.  I'm dying to go out there but the doors are locked until the weather improves and gardening volunteers clean it up.

 Snow and ice are long gone but dead annuals are still in their pots


A longer view of the garden - volunteer still waiting
But wait!!

 Cleaning the walkway

The volunteer is up and working!  YAY!  Soon, very soon, we'll be allowed into the garden.

I am connecting to Rubbish Tuesday HERE.

  19. I think it's wonderful that hospitals have made open spaces and gardens for the patients to enjoy, many on rooftops as well as on the ground. I wonder if the worker was waiting for the water to be turned on. Hmmm.

  25. There is still a fair amount of cleanup needed and this volunteer doesn't look like the fastest worker. Next time, EG, bring your workbooks and gloves.

    Hope your husband is progressing well.
