We had to claw our way along the hedgerow and retrieve tons of round fieldstone and load it onto the trailer to take to a new job yesterday. It felt like 100 % humidity. It was hot and sticky heavy work. There was poison ivy everywhere. The hawthorn kept scratching our arms and whacking us in the face. The rocks were slippery and awkward. It was late in the afternoon and we were achy and tired. But even with all the hardship, somehow it still seemed like an enjoyable task.
