"Work"

 Today I pulled up at the job site I was working at

and was greeted with this perfect parking space.

I am currently working part time for the Conservation

District and I suppose that being able to work in places

this beautiful is just one of the perks.

 A couple minutes later, Abby pulled up next to me and we donned

our awesome yellow construction hats

for today we were going to get to check out some large machinery.

 I was working in Chatham at a site

where, in just a few days now,

two tidal marshes that had been tidally restricted

(in other words, deprived of tidal waters by some man-made obstacle)

were to be restored to their former beauty and function.

Below is a picture of the currently very sad patch

of land struggling to maintain tidal marsh status

that is soon to be completely inundated at high tide

(trust me, it is all you would want if you were a tidal marsh).

 So there you have it, I spent my morning 

watching the sunlight sparkle on the ocean

while listening to the sound of bulldozers and excavators

that were actually doing something good for the planet for a change.

It doesn't get much better than this...
