Moving and stacking wood to burn later in the woodstove, gardening, and long walks are among my preferred exercise activities. The arthritis flares following COVID put the nix on my other favorite exercises, Iaido and Kenjutsu—four hours a week of martial arts were an excellent way to stay in shape.
I do get exercise with the pets. The kittens are no longer tiny, and both have developed the habit of jumping onto my shoulders and traveling around the house—one on either shoulder. Motorists driving past must wonder at the three-headed, stoop-shouldered creature working in his garden.
The kittens maintain that they only supervise me and urge me to plant catnip as the principal and prime crop in the garden.
Right!
