By Our bodies have a variety of soreness associated with spring/going-on-summer. It is mostly the garden. The garden requires turning-over, which sounds benign, but it is actually very laborious. We have a skinny little roto-tiller called a Mantis. It is only about 10 inches wide, and has the heart of a tractor (rather like our Jack Russell Terriers). Still, the little machine needs a lot of passes to till a garden. We break it up into manageable bouts. Then there is the leveling...
Michele and I went out late this afternoon to level the garden. She was handling the rake, and I was throwing the dirt with a pointed shovel. It was reflective work, meaning that one thinks about other thoughts while straining and grunting.
Michele said, "I think we should give the blog a rest for the summer."
Me: "We've already done that."
Michele: "One of our original and best correspondents (note: from England) said as much. Too much to do to keep up the blog."
So there you have it, kids. We're taking off for the summer. If you'd like to keep in touch on a personal level, our email is donbeesley@comcast.net.
Have a good growing season!
Well, I can definitely relate, and I am selfishly bummed. I love reading your blogs. But, I know there have been times where I have been too busy to get to a computer.
However, can you two make me a promise? If something comes up during the summer that seems blog worthy, would you blog? I'm not saying you have to give up your rest - just know that we are all out here eager for your words and experiences whenever they come.
Have a blessed summer, Beesleys.
Tiffany, you are a dear friend. Thanks, as always, for the kind comments. I'm sure we'll blog now and then, and of course we will visit you often.
