Monday's Musings #5 - Two Hands

Happy Monday. 

You know the old saying, it’s always something. My back is finally getting better. I’ve been looking forward to getting out and working in my yard again. But it isn’t in the cards. 

Monday Musing (#2)

 It's Monday morning. I didn't used to look forward to Mondays. The weekend was busy and productive and used to get things caught up. Monday signaled the start of another work week - stress and long hours and things falling behind again.

But I'm retired now. Monday is the start of a new week to play and work in my yard and plan some new recipes for my food blog (The Lazy Gastronome). And the best part, if all the things I planned don't get done, I have tomorrow. No stress. 

This last week was slow. I fractured a disc in my back in May so I haven't been able to work in the yard much. Watering and light maintenance was about all I could do. But things are healing and I'm ready to get back to work out there. It's been slow going rebuilding stamina but satisfying. 

I got re-started on my front yard. We plan to tarp the whole thing and till it in the Spring. I'm going to plant a no-mow cottage garden. I'll keep you updated on that project. 

I also harvested a lot of vegetables and plum! I actually have enough tomatoes this year to share with my neighbors! I love how everyone shares a little of their crops with each other.
