Nope, this isn't a political post! I'm actually digging in the dirt outside. I have become somewhat of a lump over the winter and now that the days are nicer, I'm getting out and working in the cool mornings and listening to the songbirds. We have a flagstone path from our driveway to our side porch that is getting very over grown, so I've made it my project for the year. It gets me out in the sun and fresh air and it's very satisfying! I read (on the internet, of course!) that the feel of dirt helps boost serotonin and helps give a feeling of well-being. I guess we are hard-wired for it! I can take it at my own pace and stop when my back tells me to. After I get the grass and weeks under control, I'm going to dig around the edges and see just where the edges are and where it needs new stone. I'm really enjoying it!
