I made it through the winter without a furnace. Helps that I have a woodstove, so daily fires kept me toasty warm. And now it's spring, the temps are warming up, and I get to start working out in the yard again. Miss it so much - last spring, I broke my leg and was bedbound most of the summer, then spent the fall learning to walk again.

shoveling rocks and other productive labors keep me ground, sane, and offline. love it. need it. especially now, amidst so much untruth. the simple pleasure of having a body and using it to change earth. very therapeutic. no one take’s wake’s shovel. he’s building tomorrow 🧱

My current warm weather labor is moving woodchips from the pile in my driveway - free through chipdrop - over to a section of the yard I'm completely redoing this year. Using the wood chips to level out the bumpy ground a bit and also suppress what's already there with a material that'll rebuild the soil there. Then I'm putting raised veggie beds over the top - parts of a long-term plan for sustainability.

Love it. I’ve been doing similar, albeit with my own chipper and branches. Have a large order of mulch due to arrive next week for the gardens, which are prepped with shredded leaf material and cardboard. Then we get the cement mixer and start building stuff in earnest while the beds work on food and flowers. Thankful for the time and health to do hard work that matters. Especially now.
