In cooking and in outside work I am an optimist. When I get ready to prepare a meal, I look at the recipes and think, no problem, a cinch. Only later do I notice that everything has to be minced smaller than a flea and the broth watched every minute for 30 minutes. When I went outside this morning to dig the firepit, in my mind’s eye I saw the spade cut cleanly into the soil, the pit growing as more and more soil left to level out the surrounding land. Back inside now I see I might have anticipated the large root structures underlying much of the area I’ve chosen. But, I didn’t. Back into the tool shed for the adze. Cut the root, then pick up the cut end and pull, pull, pull. Turns out this slows down the process quite a bit and ratchets up the strain on the shoulders and upper back. Tired.
Charlie,
Is blogging with WordPress a little like cooking and working ourside? A cinch, and not? Have you found your blog adze yet? I’m enjoying watching the blog entries appear and tweaking things along the way.
