A glorious day in the garden. About half of the paths are done.

It was so beautiful today I cannot put it into words. It must have been close to 15 in the yard next door. I dressed in layers and ended up in my tshirt.

What made it so glorious besides the heat and sun? Two weeks ago I was bending way over and weeding and popped my rib. It is a loud pop where the bottom rib joins with the cartilage part of the rib. POP and then excruciating pain. I don't know what actually happened from a medical perspective....but I felt like I'd broken it. It was so painful I was actually thinking 'If it doesn't get better soon, I'm going to ask if I can have the rib removed'. That kind of pain. 

So that I could go out and get some work done was the best feeling. I took it slow and easy. I raked through the mulch very slowly and made some paths. The paths took about three, maybe four hours?
