Ouch,

Today i was catching up some weeding, i feel more like i chopped wood.

Any way, it was a beautiful sunny day, low humidity...it felt good to catch up a bit and i know i will be feeling better after a good nights rest.

I stretched some later.

So i guess although my muscles are complaining , it felt good to take that off my to do list : )

Yard work is rough on the body.

We're wanting to put up a brick facade around our porch and need to tear out the front steps. I'm kind of dreading it. Slinging a sledgehammer is tough.

I hear ya. I have a little stool I move around the garden. I find that easier than using any implements.

I also do a little a day rather than a lot at once.

Happy growing!

I love the feel of the warm sun on me while I'm in the garden. It makes weeding not so bad, but yes--have to pace ourselves.

Myself 09: Good to 'see' you here again! I like your idea of using a little stool. I threw together some big foam pieces in a big trash bag and closed it with a rubber band for an improvised kneeling pad.

Believe me guys,

My back muscles were wishing i had used a stool..but i survived.. I definitely take it one bed at a time..had done two areas that day..

I have been some stiff and sore from it, but considered it my exercise for that day..

It sure looks nicer!

-waves at Luvs^-

New job, less down-time, etc. Plus, I had kinda had it with a couple of people. It happens!!

I got a single step-stool reinforced. I hand-pick weeds--using an implement is too hard on arms. Also have a 'muck bucket,' which is a 70 gallon tub and a muck bucket cart. Both of these help me with carrying water.
