Sore muscles like you wouldn’t believe.  It probably wouldn’t be too bad if I hadn’t done twice the work today.  Tonight I have sore muscles that I didn’t know I had, and in places, I haven’t thought about since the weather got cold. 

     That’s okay though, since it felt wonderful to get outside and do things again.  I do hate winter because it turns me into a real couch potato. 

     Today I did a lot of over head work trimming vines back on the arbor.  Tonight, all that work is making its presence known in my neck, my back, and my shoulders.  Well, you get the idea.  You know what?  Growing older isn’t for sissies.  Nope, it’s not for sissies one bit.  Even five years ago, I probably wouldn’t have been as sore as I am tonight. 

     I’ll get over.  I’ll be out working in the yard until the predicted cold front moves through by the end of the week.  Of course, with cooler weather and rain I’ll be inside chomping at the bit to get out again.

     I can’t help myself.  I am dying to be able to sit outside at night and enjoy all the hard work.
