Choosing our pain

G and I both are complaining of aching bodies.  G was riding his dirt bike on the Hatfield-McCoy trails for the last four days.  He went down a couple times, once when stopped and once in the mud. And bouncing up and down on the dirt trails is hard on your body too.

I spent a couple days shoveling mulch from a trailer on to my flower beds and staining the floor of the deck. That involved being on my knees and getting up and down from the floor many times.  I actually got it finished before the cold weather will arrive.  But my thighs are complaining.  This week I hope to finish the mulch.  There always are more projects to complete before winter arrives.

Nature in many forms

Yesterday I went out to my garden where I found an iris in bloom.  It is not the season for them to be blooming so I was thrilled.  As you can see I have tilled most of the garden already.

Irises are my favorite flower, so this was a wonderful gift.

Looks like there is something interesting in the weeds. When Ada gets to walk in our fields and woods she is in heaven. We do walk on the road for at least 30 min twice a day for real exercise.

This is her favorite place to be.  There are so many wonderful smells.  But the smells win out over our calls for her to come back.  We have to bring her back with the leash.
