[Soft*Silver]

On Friday we had down pouring rain so all my plans were canceled

But Saturday and Sunday I have been working for hours out in the gardens. I’m waking them back up again. I got soil delivered. I don’t put it in my garden beds because I’m just not physically capable of doing that. I have a gardener/handyman that helps me outside. He’ll do that.

But for the past two days, I’ve been raking and weeding and seeding and fertilizing. Used my green House over the winter as a storage area and I’ve been clearing that out and organizing it. It’s almost ready for the seeds to get started. (Had I brought them inside and started them inside, I would’ve done it in March.) I bought a Collapsible garden wagon that I am in love with, and I’ve been hauling things back-and-forth with ease!

How am I feeling? I am sore all over. My lips are chopped and my face has traces of sun all over it. I am really tired and I am assuming that tonight is going to be an early night. But this kind of soreness is a relief from the soreness I feel all winter from not being able to move around. When I don’t move, I get so incredibly sore, the kind of soreness that hurts deep to the bone entrenched in all my muscles. But the soreness I feel today is from movement, which releases all the memory of the pain from the winter, and hardens up my muscles so that we can continue doing this all summer long . It is something I look forward to every year. That has relief associated with it.
