That’s me too

If it wasn’t for me having to feed horses and clean stalls, and feed the chooks I would not go outside at all!

Well, it looks like we're hitting our cold spell. Which means I won't be opening their door at all. And I'll be out their picking in their coop. I usually go in once a week to do picking. I use a grabber & half gallon bucket. I have severe arthritis in my back, neck, hips & knees, so I have learned tricks to compensate. I also have holes in one ankle. I have to keep moving for 2 reasons: if I sit too much I eat too much & I have adult ADHD.
When the bucket is full I toss it in one of my raised garden beds to sit with the compost. After the next precipitation I will take it all under & start over. I keep doing this until 1st of March, then the beds sit until May planting. Seems to work for fertilized soil w/o too much effort.
Sorry I talked too much.
