Gardening = Exercise

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - raking is the BEST exercise for your abs, sides, and back EVER! I only raked one yard and I feel like I've done 1,000 of those side-crunch (twist crunch?) things. I also love raking cuz I can get a lot done and let my mind wander. Of course now I'm all sweaty and dirty, but oh well. If we end up moving I am going to miss this yard SO MUCH!

I love spring and I love my yard. Bossman also had fun running around the yard while I was working. He'd jump over my piles of leaves and branches.

The puppies did NOT enjoy our time outside, however *giggles*. Unlike my TBone they only like staying outside for about a half an hour. Then they're done and want to come back in the house. It's probably because I put them on the dog run and they can't be right next to me, but they were quickly bored and after I refused to give their crying and yelping any attention they turned to digging in my rosebushes (BAD!). Next time they do that they're going straight to somebody's room!

But I got the whole front yard raked. If I feel like it (and my back, sides, and arms are sore so I doubt it) I may go back out and work on the rose bed and the driveway bed. When the kids get home I may have them help me move the piles to the fire pit so the hubs can burn it all. It feels good to get things done! After I get the whole front yard done I'll have to decide if I'll do the orchard or the smoke-tree's yard next. After that I'll either do the side yard or TBone's yard. Lastly will be the backyard and then the garden. I have a LOT of yard!! I have to separate them all to get anything done!

I LOVE SPRING!!
