Day 271

Today's not a long one at all. I woke up, spoke to my Mom, cried about last night, and got ready to go out. My Aunt and Uncle picked me up, and we drove to my Aunt's sister's house.

It was the Open Garden. A charity event they've taken part in every year for the past 11 to 12. They have acres of land and the garden she has put together is AMAZING! I took pictures when I first got there, and then went straight to work. We got ready for the visitors, and from about 11 to 5:30 I was taking orders and waitressing. Up and down steps to get tea and coffee, and talking to a ton of people. It was great. I didn't sit down for lunch, and was still running around in between bites. Others couldn't believe it, which made me want to work even harder. It was so much fun.

By the time we got in the car to come home, I felt a bit defeated. My heels had got the best of me - not that I'd tell anyone else that - and my eyes were having troubles staying open. I made myself a green tea, came up and answered an e-mail or two while I drank it, and then hopped in the shower to wash my hair. I rotated my pictures from today, wrote yesterday's blog, and spoke to my Mom. After posting the pics on Facebook, I'm fairly sure I'll be asleep in no time at all. So Good Night xx

    The pictures are amazing as well. Maybe she needs a book from the famous photographer as a keepsake that you were there.
