Nice post. I can relate, tore my left pec muscle again 5 days ago. I do 99 % of the things I do in pain. No pain no gain.
Dug 3 small drainage trenches with a pick axe today. Over 40 foot worth. Planted some Phacelia about 25 pounds. Then hand watered it with my rain water collection system. That is for my bees. Tomorrow I will be working on splitting those hives. Do some jumping through the intended to be stupid monkey hoops ( fucking tags for my bike). Lots of things sprouting. This is what Phacelia looks like.
It took me 7 weeks to dig this and clean up the mess. I still have to cover the top of the dam with topsoil. I will get to it. Waiting for the spring rains to fill it. Then it will get fish. If my kids just focus on school daddy can make things happen.
Wow, that flower and OMG that dam, by gawd that took some effort, congrats brother.
