Im a hurting puppy today. I had to miss my deep tissue massage last week because I was at the Cleveland Clinic and I drove both ways. Yesterday among other things I picked about 2 bushels of pears. Arthur picked another 2 1/2 bushels and we sorted them. Large enough for canning, medium for preserves maybe canning and small or damaged for the chickens. I zipped up watering bags around the 3 new Apple trees and filled them. After going to the UU fellowshio today I weeded a 5 x 10 blueberry & strawberry bed that was over run with dandelions wearing a back belt under an abdominal binder. I pinned down all the strawberry runners and cut through the landscape fabric so they could really root themselves. Despite the pain & fatigue I was able to enjoy being out in the sunny garden and I feel good about finishing that bed. It should be ready for fall/winter except for covering the strawberries with straw. I did a little cleaning up after dinner but Im cooked. Im not sure if i had the energy to knit. Maybe Ill rebound a bit in an hour after Ive sat in my comfy chair for a while. Sigh.
