For the past three Saturdays, I have been hiking somewhere on this planet. This weekend was the work weekend. It started at 7:00 AM trimming the hedge on the one side of the property. Then it was filling in the holes left by Scott’s dogs. Of course, Scott had woken up by this time and offered to help. He loaded up eight trash cans with the green hedge clippings and leaves that I had raked up. For lunch I had a quick bagel with ham and cream cheese prepared by my lovely wife and returned to the fight. By mid afternoon I was ready to stop. My legs felt great. There were other parts of my body that got a better workout this weekend. That is what Shovel Ready is all about.
