Today was the best and the worst day.
Robin and I unloaded a whole truck of manure. Smelling it reminded me of my childhood when we lived next to a farm, and I just loved it! Manure is my personal 'Proust's madeleine'!
The weather was warm for the first time in weeks, and we managed to create a large bed for new seeds and set up a fence around it.
All this shoveling, planting, lifting absolutely killed my back and a few other muscles. Fortunately, Robin showed me a few stretching exercises and after I did a few on my own, I felt like myself again. I am used to doing yoga and it feels good but it's the first time I am realizing that it's simply a life saver for working on a farm. I promised myself to keep stretching every day. Someone should invent yoga for farmers!!!
