Another “Bad Idea” post.

Good idea: landscaping your yard to improve the visual appearance of your property and increase the resale value.
Bad idea: overworking yourself until you can barely get out of bed in the morning.

I’m not 17 anymore — my body keeps reminding me of what my brain refuses to believe.

I took some time Saturday to rip out two lilac bushes and all the rizones that had been sprouting around them, then I chopped out two tree stumps with my trusty pick axe. I slept like a log Saturday night. Then Sunday I got the great idea at 6:00 in the evening to transplant one of two forsythia I’ll be moving away from my house. Two and a half hours later I was inside, cleaning up, and more sore than I’ve been in years. Tonight I’ll hopefully be taking it easy.
