A five mile hike ending in a bag of peas began this way:
Training for a big hike
Takes trespassing
At least the way we
Do it. Getting
Elevation on the golf course
We go our longest route
five miles with
Breakfast at the country club
As a reward. At home
Knees, hips lower back all complain
But my tummy
Is happy.
Later, “rigor mortis” sets in through the hips and lower back. Thank God for my trusty bag of frozen peas.
Frozen peas make the best ice packs ever.
We use lima beans simply because we’re less likely to eat our ice pack. But either way, it’s a wonderful thing to have in the freezer!
