Planted the tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries. Took the dogs for a long walk. Back holding up. Bodies are a scam.
Somehow I got through okay! I did all the weeding on my hands and knees (no bending), and did the tilling with a garden fork. The tilling was the hardest on my back, but I felt fine at the end, and haven't felt anything the rest of the day. Maybe I got lucky?
(My reward to myself at the end of this is a trip to the bookstore.)
I loathe weeding but I get a sense of satisfaction out of planting and tending my garden. When I haul two big boxes full of potatoes down to the cellar I get a faint sense of how a squirrel must feel.
About to weed the vegetable garden, till in the compost, plant potatoes. I tweaked my back last week and it's mostly healed, I'd put this off but it needs to be done now, please wish my back luck.

But if you want to hear some Zelda, Pokemon, and Mario music -
