One of the best parts of working from home is having a window on the world. From my office, I can see our busy road and the occasional deposit in the mailbox, the front yard and the small flower bed, which had been looking a little ragged. I took advantage of sunshine and warm temperaturesâa rare combination on weekends so far this yearâto get rid of weeds and wildflowers sprouting there. Before long, I stopped thinking about other chores and started enjoying the ageless art of playing in the dirt. Running my fingers through rich, dark soil and unearthing the occasional wiggling worm made me feel like all was right in the world.
