Tripping over the stump

 It never fails. Every time I walk that path created by digging out bushes. I trip. 

That stump is so short. You really can't see it. 

Walking over to the fire pit, and bam! I almost bite the dust. 

Surely you're asking. Why don't you get that stump out? 

Good question.

I will.

In fact, I dug out about 10 or more today. I only dig for a couple of hours or so each time I choose to clear more land. 

Back problems really keep me at a minimal. Do you experience back pain?

It's fantastic, that I'm able to do anything labor intensive in the first place. My back pain is brought on by spinal stenosis. 

At the end of an evening I just want pain relief and rest. 

Pull out some natural herbal pain killer and let's chill!

Anyhow, it looks like I will have to get that stump in the next dig. It was at the end of my shift. 🥴

You may be asking. Why would you be digging the plants out? Good question. I have it in mind that mice, rats, and other rodents would like to crawl into my space. I could have less around if I don't give them bushy areas to dig into. Besides, you can't have a campfire with bushes so close they're likely to ignite. Nor do you want to sit in a thorny area because that just increases your chances of getting stuck! 

That's never fun! 

I'm currently trying to learn how to green the desert. I will be growing plants indoors. Then try to transplant them next spring. I would like to green the desert. But! 

And that's a BIG but

That may require more than I can handle. Who possibly knows? It's worth a shot though. So, as I plant my seeds. I will snap pics and post them here for y'all to follow along. Have you got yourself on the email address list for blog updates?
