Back in the old days. I could prune, weed and mulch the rose garden in one day
Sadly those days are long gone
Even in the recent years I could prune and weed in the one day
But not any more
Today I did this much
Four rose bushes and half of one.
Pulled weeds but only those big ones that come out easily
Even though it doesn’t look like much. Which was disappointing. I remembered that it was four wheelbarrow loads.
You can see a nice little pile of the prunings and weeds
Wonderson came over for lunch and I stopped to have some with him
Wonderson came over for lunch and I stopped to have some with him
That was my mistake. Once I’d stopped and cooled down. I just couldn’t get going again.
That’s why I only got through half a rose bush
I’ve had a long soak in. Hot bath
Will take some pain meds
And recover enough to hopefully go out again tomorrow and do a bit more
I mourn the old me.
I guess I’ll just have to be happy I can do any work out there at all
None of us are getting any younger, are we? We're all in the same boat!
ReplyDeleteYou did well. But you just have to realise you can't do as well as you used to. It's hard to accept it. Look at what you accomplished though. It's lucky son came over for lunch or I'm sure you would have kept on pruning and weeding and then spent the rest of the week inside doing nothing but crochet! Rest and recoup ! Crochet and knitting are work too
ReplyDeleteBut you do what you can. That's all we can do.
