Farm girl - she & her 3 sisters worked from an early age in the fields, had mules to do the plowing, everything else was by hand (topping tobacco, weeding, hoeing, picking cotton, milking some of the cows not in the dairy) .... working in those days was a matter of survival.

I am giving my back a break & relocating our motion alarms. One was in a tree I took down & the other needs a better location. Stumps are about knee high now - I’ll need a low stool to sit on to get them lower.

Farm girl, I should’ve known!

Take care of yourself! I hate when I overdo it and my back hurts. It’s one of the few times I will take a prescription muscle relaxer.
