Weeding and aerating out of the way.

It looks so easy.  Much of the time I was even in the evening shade.  The hoe is light, to me.  I can barely tell I am holding it.  And yet the job wore me down.  An half hour of little movements and I needed a rest.  I sat with Sam for a bit, outside.  Beside it being a stepping stone cool down platform, giving my golden girl her dues is like a rose that blooms through the snow.  I had hoped to be done much more quickly, but these things do take time.  Thought is not action, yet.  I still want to plant before starting the water.  Who knows how long that will take.  Now, that means I'll be watering outside of the "official times", especially since the front yard absolutely has to be watered.  All good.

It is still hot.  I would say it is in the 90's, if not still 100.  But... that is me.  The weather station says it is 95 now, so yeah.  I look like I just came out of the gym.  I'll definitely need a shower tonight.  Ah, but it is good to be out working.  I've been lumping it lately, and I truly hate that.  I was born to do.  If all I can do is minor plumbing, a bit of gardening, and writing a blog, then I want to get to it.  Another half hour, a bit of blog looking, then I have to get to planting.  Later.
