Weekend gardener

It all started with a cobble stone path from the driveway to the front porch. As simple as moving some pavers from the backyard to the front, weeding and finally new mulch. I employed my six year old as my designated water girl. "Your job is to keep daddy supplied with a glass of ice water whenever needed." She did an awesome job to. No sooner would I put the glass down and she was off to the kitchen to refill it.

About 1 o'clock in the afternoon I decided that I wouldn't waste such a fine opportunity to get a tan. Off went the shirt and there I was sporting my overly white body to the neighborhood. For any of my neighbors that might read this I apologize for scaring your kids. Anyway back to the story, as simple a plan as I had layed out it turned into an all day ordeal. There were several times that I almost gave up. Ex specially after hearing the A/C cycling on and off, and looking through the windows at the family walking around in air conditioned paradise. I stayed at it though, and must say the flower beds look awesome. I however have third degree burns on the top off my ass from the plumber look I had going, and I am here to tell you it has been a long time since my ass has seen daylight. That story is for another time and place. Suffice it to say that the project I had lined up for Sunday didn't happen.

This morning back at work I am so sore I cant walk. Once again I pushed it to the extreme and forget that since the accident I am not the man I used to be, but I am getting there. For now though I had to break out the cane to get around. Happy Monday everyone..
