If I had known I was going to live this long, I would have....
huh, I don't know what I would have done.
Yesterday late afternoon and early evening,I moved rocks, rocks and more rocks. Then I mowed and moved more rocks I missed that the mower found. It didn't like finding them. Made a heck of a racket when it hit one. So, I would get the dolly and move the rocks. Now, my back and wrist(knees,feet,legs where I dropped some big rocks, two broken toes that found rocks I didn't see, ok, pretty much my whole body) is mad at me today. Oh well, nothing a couple of demoral and a soma won't make better.
The area I was cleaning up was where my daughter had her flower and herb garden. Then she moved but told me not to touch it until she dug up her plants. That was a year ago. The past week or so, I had been digging the plants she had there. It was a good sized garden, about 20'x30'. The man who owned this 2+ acres before us had used it for a veggie garden.
Well, now there are no more plants(next spring may prove me wrong) or rocks. DD had put some BIG rocks around different plants. It looks great now. Looks like just part of the yard.
Thats it for now. More to come later.

You're doing very well for an old bird, catspower. ;) Moving plants, rocks and more rocks doesn't sound like old people's exercise to me.

I'm with Droopy .This old bird would be dead today.If I did even 1/4 of what you did.I am so down in my back since I had to lay flat of my back for 12 hours.I can't imagine attempting such right now.Catspower you just made me feel older. :)

I haven't been moving rocks, but I can sure sympathize with your back pain. My last back surgery was 16 months ago and I thought all was OK. About 3 weeks ago a pain started and it is still there in the same place!! Hope that doesn't mean surgey #4. Take care of your back and don't over do.
