@Barbaraj , your comment made me laugh as you just described me! The thing giving me the most anxiety right now is the condition of my garden. I spend several hours every Saturday on that kneeling pad, then get out the pruners and chainsaw to attack larger things that are sprouting up where they shouldn't. I have always done all of the gardening, as my husband thinks weeds and flowers are the same thing. I wind up sitting on a heating pad Saturday night and Sunday, but I want things in the best possible condition when I leave for surgery, as I'm not likely to be back our there this growing season. I am hoping to be healed enough to rake leaves in October, but time will tell.No big plans although I want to get out there and do a bit of gardening (translation: weeding) today. I did some yesterday afternoon and it was a lot of work standing and kneeling, moving my kneeling pad every few feet to get at a different batch of pesky weeds. At one point as I stood up I thought to myself, "sheesh, you are moving like an old woman", and then I realized, "well, yes, I am an old woman--and an old woman with a bum hip".
