It's a beautiful sunny day to sit and watch the remaining cypress trees fall.
The weather forecast says mostly cloudy, but someone forgot to tell the clouds. I got to an early start today, the dog has been walked, breakfast eaten, I have watered the front nature strip and moved about 6 carts of dirt so far. I think of moving the dirt as an arm strengthening exercise, but it's really a whole body thing. Every shovel full also involves squats and bracing all the core muscles. Which means everything should hurt tomorrow, not just the arms!
Edit: looks like the clouds were no available, the forecast has been changed to mostly sunny. I've moved another bunch of soil, at the rate I'm going I might even get finished by lunchtime.
