Because of today's less than inspiring weather forecast, I went outside before breakfast and spent an hour digging. To my surprise, although it was very grey and dull, it still wasn't raining in the early afternoon, so I thought I might get a bit more digging done. Half an hour in, the sun came out and despite a gusty wind, it was quite warm, so I spent the entire afternoon out there, about three and a half hours, dug over the rest of the cleared patch and swept the path. I'm sure I didn't get all the roots, there are bound to be some I missed, but I filled my bucket three times, so come spring there should be a lot less roots to deal with.


Now my back aches and my hands hurt, but I don't have to do any digging tomorrow so I'll probably survive. At least tomorrow night I can relax and work on knitting the second arm warmer. =)
