Back to Work So I Can Rest
My poor aching back. I pulled weeds and helped hubby clean gutters today. I am so tired that I don’t even want any dinner. For me to not want to eat, you know I am worn out!
It was a beautiful day today. Indiana tends to get so humid in the summer time so for today to be so nice and yet hot, was unusual. I think that is the reason I felt I had to get everything done today. Tomorrow it could be humid. Have you ever worked outside in high humidity? It is awful. I always feel the need to take a shower every few hours if I work outside in humidity. It is just not worth it.
The dogs enjoyed being outside with us. Brody is allowed to go outside the fence with me because he usually just lays down and stays right with me. Elsie can’t be let out though because she is a runner. She would be in the next county before we noticed she was gone. I wish I had her energy. She would make a great model for Solo Slim. She has the muscular physique known for her breed, the Boston Terrier. She was so energetic today that she moved her ball around the yard like a soccer player. I had to end her fun when she put the ball in the mud and was covered herself with black dirt. I gave her a bath and hid the ball. She hates to have a bath and struggles with me. I had to really work to get all the mud off her face. Good thing she is cute!
So, the weeds are pulled, the gutters cleaned and at least one dog is bathed. Off to bed I go!

Oh how I sympathize! I’m so glad its finally good weather, but weeding– UGH! I used to be in such great shape, too, but doing paid posting for the past year has taken its toll. lol, oh well! I’m enjoying my gardens.

I think weeding is horrible work… Urgh!
But.. I love your dog! Looks really cute… I would love to own a dog myself, but don’t really have time to take care for it now. too bad! maybe later I guess…

Nice write-up. I would advise you to plan the things to be dome on the basis of their priority. Doing all the left out household chores in a single day is good neither for your health nor for the family atmosphere. Try to involve other family members also.
I didn’t realize you had boston’s, (new ish reader), I have one too, and he’s awsome. We also have a mut that’s a real lover we love both our dogs very much. I feel you on the aching back thing, but mines a little different. I worked out in the yard this weekend, without a shirt on, and my back is now completely suburned. So I have an aching back too!
