Got to tell this...
Yesterday my tiller broke down about 10 times! Hubby calls a friend that knows of this old farmer that would come with his big ole' plow and get our garden tilled really good. So he comes over looking like he just stepped off the Andy Griffith show or something back in the 50's with his old plow and he is wearing a cute straw hat that ties under his chin. My hubby was outside with him at first as I was busy inside and then I came out to see how things were going. The farmer looks at me and tells my hubby, "You gonna let her get her hands dirty"? I was up for the challenge then!!! I'll show him! You see, we have huge rocks in our garden some that weigh as much as 90 or more pounds since we live nestled inbetween mountains. Hubby was out collecting them in putting them in a pile. I marched over to grab this huge one, I think it weighed about 60 pounds. Farmer then tells hubby, "I didn't see you grab one as big as that one she has"! I laughed. Then I have to go inside for abit. While I am inside the Farmer tells hubby, "damn, your wife is strong...that rock must have been 75 pounds or more" (I will let him think it weighed that much)LOL!
That just really made my day...getting our garden plowed and getting a nice compliment. Just goes to show you that when you are fit, you can do almost anything!
