The above title refers to what my poor tired body looks like after two days out in the sun gardening. Aided by my friend Sharon (who helps me in the garden because she likes gardening, enjoys the exercise and gets to eat lots of veggies and fruits when they ripen) we planted all the plants I bought last week as well as moved about half of the 6 cubic yards of soil that I had delivered yesterday morning. Oh yeah, we also turned over the entire veggie garden bed so it is ready to be planted in a couple of weeks (after the tomatoes grow a bit more and the veggie selection at local nurseries increases).
As usual, this first really sunny weekend in the garden resulted in me getting sunburned like a motherfucker. Fortunately, for a pale assed Celtic whiteboy, I don’t stay sunburned for long. In fact, with any luck I’ll have a pretty nice tan come June or July.
And now it’s dinnertime. More bloggage later.
