Informal but very much a workout

[Guest guest]

I just finished about an hour and a half of heavy yard work. This is clearing

brush and vines work. There were plenty of squats, heavy lifting, pulling, and

walking with weights.

This is both a workout and what I've been working out for! I'm an avid gardener,

but I had been relying on my boys for muscle power. Well, the younger one went

off to college, too, and the yard has been going down hill! We have two acres --

half wooded and half open. We have a small vineyard in the open area, plus many

dwarf fruit trees. All these things take a lot of work to take care of! Last

year I was overwhelmed and it left me extremely exhausted. This year I'm

catching up on last year's neglect!

It was hot outside, too, and DH said it looked like I was in a wet t-shirt

contest. I filled a pick-up by myself. I never could have done this if I hadn't

been working out all winter! And you guys helped me do that!

Thanks!
