Digging, raking, cutting roots, pulling rocks, hauling gravel in buckets through the woods - it was great fun, and a perfect way to shut off the horror show of the news, although I think I am 2 inches shorter tonight than I was this morning. Those buckets were heavy!

Nothing fancy for drinks after, just cold Geary’s Ale, followed by grilled swordfish. Feels good.

How will you be relaxing this weekend?
