RE: Backyard Pear Picking {Mindful Reflection}

Fruit picking is indeed a tough job and glad to see that you got the hang of it.
At the apple and citrus farms here they have expert teams of pickers, mostly ladies, that work on each farm every picking season.
I for one cannot imagine picking fruit from hundreds of trees every day of the season. The monotony will drive me nuts.
Looks like you are well stocked now with the good stuff!
Blessings!

I would definitely never need to officially workout again if I picked fruit more often! The hard work and connection to our food sources makes you realize why post people were not overweight years ago. I don't think I would monotony too much, but then again it very well could drive me nuts since I've never had to try it! I feel pretty lucky to get the chance to make a day of it every now and again, though. :)

I don't think you need any extra workouts my friend.
Funny but some of the fruit pickers look a little rotund, but I bet that they have muscles of steel.
As far as the monotony aspect is concerned, I love problem solving and in our charity work not one day is the same. I would really die a slow death if I had to do the same thing every day.
You are right, every now and again is the ideal view to take.
Blessings!
