Well folks it's about that time again

Yep another yr older & another yr slower than last ha ha ha but I'm getting things done little by little each day that I get. around this time last year we were setting our sights on a Fla trip, but as luck would have it a month later I landed in the hosp. May 5th to be exact, till Sept the 5th & 60 lbs lighter. So now it's been like 7 mons since I've been out of the hosp which sure doesn't seem that long ago I went through h3ll & now I've gained my strength back & getting my mojo back again. I spent the day working in the front yard raking leaves & pulling rocks that got buried under yrs of leaves, I got all of the rocks out & put them where when it rains it will clean them off again. Tomorrow, I'll work on getting the flower bed I have going cleaned out & put down some vapor barrier to keep the weeds out & put some old straw down I have around the plants I have coming back. I got husband to work on getting the wheel barrel fixed where I can use it to move all the leaves I raked up, so I can turn that into planting soil for the NEW plants I plan on getting NEXT yr to get them going. We have taken a break from the cabin to get some other things done & after this weekend we'll get back on it again to see how far we get B-4 we have to take ANOTHER break from it, whew I have SO MUCH work to get done it's like a never ending job, but we'll get it all done. When I crashed I didn't have 1/2 the work we do now & since it has taken a whole yr away from me to get back on my feet the work just seems to pile up to get caught back up again, no rest for the weary. But 1 thing I can say for sure I may be another yr older in a few days but I can say this, I'm not ready to just give up & let my health keep me down, I feel so much better when I can get out & get something done. If I can get a day to work in the yard or in the cabin it makes my day to know something got done even if it's not a lot at lest we did what had to be done to set back & thank God he gave me the day to do it. I've read a few of the posts on here where most of you have done the same thing, to work in your yards & gardens, doesn't it just fill your heart with joy to be out in the fresh air & enjoying your labor? Just always think to take breaks & not over do it cause yard work isn't as easy as you would like it to be at times, but rewarding to see the results it took to get where it is to enjoy what you have done.
