Tai Chi must be working

Tai Chi must really be working for me!

Today we worked at blowing the leaves.  As most of you know, we have a fairly large yard. Both in the front and the back.  The front yard is very hilly, with trees and rocks and some sort of plants. I'm so not a botanist I really couldn't tell you one plant from another.  The only thing that I can really point out is a pine tree. To me trees are trees and well plants are plants. 

The following pictures are of what I did by myself without taking a rest. I will admit that it feels awesome to be able to say this.  Before Tai Chi, I would have taken about 5-6 brakes of about 15-20 minutes each before I got half way down this hill. Not having to stop is a huge accomplishment.

 The front of our house. Lots of trees and a steep hill. Gives a good workout, but difficult to see the tree stumps when a bunch of leaves fall and blanket the front yard.

 My cute pile of leaves. This is leading into our backyard. As you can see we have a lot of leaves.
