The Snowball Tree out back.... In the lower right- the weeds...Husband used to work on the weeds but now...no one does. And they are taking over...
I don't mind weeding but can no longer get down on my knees to do the work...way way too painful. I try to do the weeding standing but...doesn't work..... one needs to be ground level with a sharp tool. My knees will be the first thing to go...
I had always thought it would be something else...but knees...I can walk, sit, stand etc with no pain at all. But kneel? Even on carpet to pick up some pins I spilled- it's so very painful. I have had to learn how to clean up spills from a standing position... trying not to bend over so far that my head hits the floor.
Getting Old. Wow...should be an Olympic Sport. Walking around and having to bend over to pick things up without a support or something to lean on.. I would not do well.
It's in the mid 60's today and a bit chilly in the house....I turned UP the AC unit...just to rid us of humidity.
Today is Grocery Shopping Day- Son is checking on on my energy levels... my blood pressure tanks out... Yes, most people my age have problems with high blood pressure- I have the opposite. I have always been this way- any stress at all and my head gets light and I am preparing to hit the ground. They have examined my heart--- do not become alarmed---it's in 100% good condition. I am just a born and bred fainter.

My knees are shot too. To weed I just plop my rear on the ground and scoot around. To get up, I just keep my 5-gallon bucket handy to use to push off. It's h**l getting old.
what about one of those rolling carts for gardening? Assuming you really want to go out and weed. Suncast Outdoor Rolling Garden Scooter - Durable Plastic Portable Garden Seat Rolls in Grass and Dirt - on Amazon
