So, I am a bundle of small aches and pains. Will be more so tomorrow AM.

This past 4 days-

Got my wood (2-1/2 cords) stacked for burning.

Cleaned and stored the splits and structural bark for fire starting.

Weeded out 4 raised beds. Bumper crop of tomatoes. Taking onions and celery now. Celery is a cool veg to grow...loves the cold weather of fall. The rest was prize weeds and sorghum (Seeded from the feeders above). Planted, but did not pay enough attention.

Transferred all of my tools from the garage to the basement, as I am doing over my whole downstairs walk-out basement into a pool room.

Major reorg on my stand alone 2 car garage. 2 car is key. I am fitting a RAM 1500 into this really tight space. And I am just starting to drive a full size pick-up ( I was a Dodge Dakota 4WD guy). It's so tight, I have to collapse both window mirrows to make it in...and I have to be aware of where the door is....a few inches too low and "oh shit".

No room in the garage for the woodchipper and Splitter. Covered and secured for the winter outside, though.

Tomorrow, finish the beds out back. Do the herb bed and front stairs beds. Maybe mow the lawn in some areas for the last time this year.

I was very proud of myself for finally getting my garage cleaned. It wasn't bad, but I wanted to get it better organized.

And that's it. That's all worthless me did.

a day or two, so maybe you should put a day in between today and your next round of work.

I say that because I've been severely limited in my garden and other work activities since early August. At that time I shoveled woodchips.

I didn't even get dressed today! And I even went back to bed in the late morning!

I was out until 2am last night so I needed to get the rest, I am traveling tomorrow and will be out of town all week so I did pack and get the laundry and housework done. But I stayed in my jams.

I'd say you were really on a roll getting all that done. But you'll feel so good about it once your body gets back to normal.

You should give yourself a big pat on the back, if it doesn't hurt too much to do that.

I am into re-developing my property....I have 50 acres to play with. Next year I want to open up approx 3 miles of walking /cc skiing trails. It's all about the wood chips.
