My post today was inspired by another blogger that I follow, M.B. Henry. Her posts are usually historical in content, well written, and enjoyable to read.

Yard Work And Benefits
Yesterday, I spent some time in the yard. It was a beautiful day and just the right temperature to do some yard work. We have some brick borders around our house, framing gardens on the ground level. Every few years those borders need to be re-leveled due to heaving from our cold winters and the…
