The Old Folks Home

[Nomadicus]

Good evening old folks. I wanted the day off but the proverbial ox was in the ditch. I should have put gloves on this morning. I totally forgot how bad a tiller can put blisters on the palm of hands after a few hours of non stop sod busting.

Good morning, OF. Is today a true day of rest?

YES, in a way...

Happily, I find pulling buckets of rampant spring weeds out of my flower beds restful...truly, I do. For me it's a kind of nature immersion/meditation, great way to get off the stress & worry treadmill for a few hours. Instead I'm smiling as I see blooming crocus and primroses, bulb points pushing up through the soft, moist soil and tender new leaves on the clematis vines - spring always comes and life goes on!

[Plus, the hens love fresh weed piles and I can throw soggy tennis balls for the pups. Win-win!]

Dirt therapy. I love it.

Right now, the ground is too wet/hard/frozen (or all three, in various spots) to do my "hands and knees" weeding, which is exactly what it sounds like. Doing that while listening/singing along to my MP3 player is pretty much nirvana for me.

But right now I can go out and pull buckets of weeds on the south sides of the beds and give the chickens "green snack."

Good morning old folks. It's time to put gas in the tiller and get to it again.

I'm up but not at 'em' just yet.

Don't forget your gloves!

I did. Maybe I will remember them when I go back out as soon as I eat my grilled sandwich. I have enough blisters already without making more and the old ones worse.
