The Hazards of Gardening?


My body hurts, the backs of my thighs feel like someone is sticking me with pins. I have come to the conclusion that gardening is hazardous to my health!

Or maybe I'm out of shape?

    Gorgeous flowers! I love lilies and have quite a few in my yard. I did a little yard clean-up today myself. Cut down some Asiatics and picked up another 5 gallon bucket of walnuts! Will those things ever quit?

    Hehehe maybe you are out of shape. Gardening sounds like something too complex. Must be good for cardio.

    Ah, but are those beautiful flowers worth it?!

    PS: I love your black cat avatar! I had a black cat when I was young. My daughter has a black cat now. Her cat has made a few posts on my blog. I also have a new love of owls. We got to re-nest 3 baby barred owls this Spring and early Summer. That was so awesome. I blogged about that, too.

    Your flowers are so beautiful! Yard work and gardening kick my butt, too. I guess we are both out of shape :P

    Anything requires bending at the hips and sometimes the knees is hazardous for me. Years of horseback riding (and falling off) has made lots of simple task tough. You flowers are beautiful.

    Thanks for the flower photos, I was expecting snakes! If I squat while I weed I am very very sore the next day.

    Your flowers are beautiful.

    Gorgeous flowers. I agree that squatting or kneeling for long periods of time can be hard on the body no matter what your age. Best to take lots of breaks!

    I often think that there was way less obesity in the past when most people had gardens or worked in the field, so I guess the coin always has two sides! You can look at your gardening from the perspective of physical activity and there you go - fit and entertained by the beautiful fruits/flowers of your garden!

    You've got some seriously amazing flowers that are worth the pain!!

    I'll have to remember that line when I am needing to pull weeds. I am not sure my hubby will fall for it, though.
