Look at that little mug.... so funny...
Well, yesterday the weather was pretty nice and so working in the yard was a definite.... The flag pole was kind of calling my name... Since we had so much rain, the ground was diggable, workable. A bit easier? Oh my, by the time I was finished I could hardly move... But I dug up all the plants- saved some to replant, collected all the bulbs and cleaned up all the weeds and waste.... Then my husband helped me screen out the rock from the soil...
As soon as we finished he said OK now let's go for a run... Are you kidding? I can hardly move my legs... My hip and buttocks hurt from driving the shovel with my foot... I was out here for 5 hours working.... Then I thought about him... He works hard like that every day and even when he is tired he will accommodate my wishes... So I said OK. Changed my clothes, put my hair up and we went to the bike path... Ran 3 miles... Now I haven't ran in months... Three miles nearly killed me in my weakened (digging) condition...LOL But about 20 min afterwards I felt pretty good....
My body really hurt last night... Every time I rolled over, I woke up... Soreness, aches and pains.... Youth is wasted on the young... I always heard that... Now I believe it!
Today I am looking out the window at my flagpole planter and I will have to finish it up... That means getting a load of garden soil to fill it up and then replant the bulbs and flowers.... and then mulch it.
I also need some garden soil for a potato patch. Just a small one. The ones we grew last year were so tasty... I love having a garden...
Coming up in the garden now are Pumpkins, Corn and Jalapeno Peppers. Of course I haven't been out there this morning so there could be more...
Gardening is hard work sometimes... But it brings pleasure and I hope glory to God who created every creature and all things!
yeah- i can relate... digging 11 fence posts this weekend... then matt trimmed some trees. zoe and i were dragging a large limb out of the way for himl... my legs were burning and she was like "okay, what next?" hmmm! what next, indeed!
