You are so right, the rewards are great.<br /><br />El Gaucho, you know, I sure hope the reason I didn't get hurt worse was because of the exercise. I mean, it has to be good for Something, right?<br /><br />June, I'm glad you saw the humor in it. Even Ann busted out laughing a little after we ascertained I wasn't going to need an ambulance, lol.<br /><br />Carol, if you lived nearby, I'd load you up with hostas for free. They sure do grow. Thanks for visiting!<br /><br />Indie, thank you and you know what? I think I'm more accident prone every year. Falling seems to be my favorite thing to do. I really need to rethink my favorite things, don't I?<br /><br />Sue, thank you for the compliment. And oh, yes, less weeding has got to be a Good Thing.<br /><br />Donna, I know...it's too bad we didn't think about downsizing when we first put the garden in, but such is life and youthful enthusiasm. There should be public service announcements warning beginning gardeners of the perils of large planting areas. But I wouldn't have listened back then either.

It is better to have one's life manageable than overwhelming. But even downsizing requires projects... hope your aches and pains go a way soon. I know I would not be on my feet after a project of that size.

I think it is your writing talent that does it to me. <br /><br />I so agree gardening is my salvation!

Do you think your exercise routine helped mitigate the damage from your fall?

I'm glad you saved those trees and that they were easy to dig up.<br /><br />This statement says it for me too:<br />**I cannot even imagine a life without gardening; being outdoors is my sanity and my salvation.** <br /><br />I am thankful to God that I can still garden and that I enjoy it. Work, yes, but the rewards are great.<br /><br />Love and hugs to you and Carl ~<br />FlowerLadyFlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.com
