My back, my garden, my grandmother

I've dealt with a sore back all winter. Not fun. Chalked it up to aging. Maybe it is. Anyway...

Yesterday I spent the whole day working in the yard and garden. I kept thinking that I will pay for this when I can't get out of bed next morning. 

I arose and my back never felt better.

I remembered my grandmother saying that if you don't feel good you need to grab a hoe and go outside and work. You know, I think she was right! Good ole granny medicine.
