so very sore.....

ok, so yesterday i cleared out flower beds for 4 hours.....spent daylilies, weeds, and trees/shrubs that seem to spring up randomly: cedars and redbuds are the biggest offenders.....these self-seed quite easily...and can get quite large in a short amount of time...which would be great if i really did want a redbud amongst the hostas.....i managed to clear the entire frontage on the other side of the fence, and then along the fence on this side.....almost to the bend in the sidewalk.....three wheelbarrows full of sticks, dead or dying organic matter....and now those body parts least used to bending and pulling are in pain....and i am nowhere near done with this project....the good news is that the recent rains have made it easier to pull things out of the soil......i am working to pull out daylilies entirely from several spots....easier said than doen...but i am working toward that goal......
