It's hard to describe the satisfaction of a good exhaustion and a feeling of pride after a day of digging post holes and putting up fence. It is the structure and bones of our gardens and it just feels good. It is not unlike the feeling I have after finishing an involved painting, though I am not as dirty with that now, as it is digital. (Though once I had the mess of paint and the smell of turpenoid/mineral spirits at the end of a big painting)
