Muscle Rub

I have a mulberry tree that I grew by mistake.  The thing is that it is being crowded out by a well established bush I planted way back for privacy.  Well, now that the neighbour put up a fence, there is no need for the bush.  So I had the grand idea of not ripping the bush out and killing it, but digging it out and transplanting it.  Let's just say that was not a good idea when I am home alone.

But, I got the job done.  A couple of hours later and the sucker is out.  I split off two part from the the two foot diameter root ball.  Those parts will be planted at the back of the property to fill holes.  The rest... well, I dragged that sucker across the yard and plopped it at a spot I will try to sink that baby.  Oh, if you could only see how how filthy I was.  I would have taken a picture of the grime covered legs but there was no way I was touching my camera.  

And the pain... I cannot convey the pain I am in.  Everything aches down to my fingertips.  It hurts to sit, type, walk... you name it.  

But, damn... it was worth it.  If I could be paid to garden like this, I would be in heaven...
