Thanks for answering all those quesitions. Ah, now THAT makes more sense. I figured that 2nd photo monolith weighed more than 80 pounds. But which rock are we talking about below? The one circled in blue looks like about 80 pounds, the one in the back circled in red looks like it's well over 80 pounds. Are you digging these out by hand????
What a wonderful place to work. Must be very soul nourishing, as well as tummy nourishing. And you answered my other question - those slabs are granite slabs. Wonderful. And, I THOUGHT that looked like an apple tree but the trunk is massive. Must be really old. Beautifully pruned too.
"Today's a special day..." That's ONE way to describe an alternator going bad and having to walk to work and back! lol I might call it something other than "special!" HAHAHA HA. You certainly do get your "moving" in. Must be strong like bull (said with thick Greek accent).
It warmed up nicely - I noticed too late to make my swimming "window," so spent about three hours pulling back one flower bed from certain weed strangling! Boy, was it ever a MESS! When I swim, my manual labor is pretty abbreviated - and between it and the rainy days, my beds were sad!
Made ONE happier today. Another, hopefully, tomorrow.
What's everybody else up to?

That sounds INTENSE!
It seems to me that once people experience how much better they feel, physically and mentally, when they exercise, they want to keep at it. Could be wrong, but that's how it has always been for me.
Your coach got you started - and I know you are grateful that he did. I hope sometime you get a chance to tell him that!
I LOVE to swim alone, with just the birds, and clouds and blue sky to keep me company. Before the pandemic, I would arrive at my outdoor membership pool when they opened and usually got at least the first 15-20 minutes of quietude. I have been blessed this summer to have been offered the use of a neighbor's in-ground pool every weekday. I am in the vulnerable category, so even though my pool is opening, I am not comfortable taking the chance.
It has been HEAVEN, absolute HEAVEN to be able to swim - let alone with only nature to keep me company. My friend keeps an eye on me from inside, but I told her if I drown to just let me be - I figure what better way to go than doing something I love so!!!
Gonna' SWIM today! Sun is in and out, but I think it's warm enough and the water should be OK. Looking forward to it warming up a bit - but I know it will happen if I am just patient!
What's everybody else doin' today?
Movin', I hope!
