Ow, springtime soreness [View all]

Yesterday I shoveled mulch. Today I sieved compost and planted 120 flowers along the front path. I can’t quite decide if I’m too old for this or if all this exercise is good for keeping an old lady in shape. I need a hot bath with Epsom salts, assuming I can ever get out of this chair again.
