Well here I am justifying a sit down in the garden on a recliner having dug out tons of soil roots bricks and an old metal clothes dryer from the bottom of the garden. It’s been one of those jobs I’ve put off since moving here and at last it’s done. A sense of achievement with aching back and hands. Not good for my piano playing hands but a rewarding achievement. Am I feeling guilty. Not one bit and as a reward the peonies opened up.
