eorSo, apparently the way to avoid pain when you sit down in a chair is not to sit down all bloody day.
Today was a gorgeous sunny day with a few fluffy white clouds and a bit of breeze in the afternoon just to make it more pleasant.
Had a lovely breakfast at home and finally got moving at about 10am. Proceeded to the garden store and bought seedling lettuce, peppers, thyme, rosemary, and some soil to cover a rocky messy bit in the garden.
Came home and worked in the garden forever. Well, only until 6pm or so. Planted 100+ pepper seedlings. The vast majority of these are my late start seedlings, I don't expect them to survive, let alone yield any peppers. I did get 24 pepper seedlings from the nursery and one mostly grown ancho pepper plant. I also got the herbs planted in one of the railing boxes and the lettuce spread between a railing box and a small patch in the garden. Derien planted another row of bush beans where I had placed the acquired soil, planted a bleeding heart, and dug a lot of dandelions, burdocks, and other undesirables out of the planting areas and the lawn. At the end of it all I mowed the lawn, primarily to keep the dandelions down to a dull roar.
Our upstairs neighbor gave us some quahogs from a haul he had dug with a friend. For supper we warmed up our radish top soup and made steamed clams. The clams were astoundingly good and the soup was far superior to our last batch (I now consider the recipe ready for prime time).
A very productive day and a very productive weekend. I am extremely tired and my back is still pretty sore, but it certainly didn't keep me from moving.
Oh, are lilacs are blooming too.
