Although she is built lean and feminine, she can handle most any task usually relegated to men: tossing 80# bales of hay, mucking out the horse barn, fixing a tractor, driving fencing poles into hard ground and putting up 2 acres of fencing, rehabbing a house, refinishing floors, moving walls, putting on a roof . . . or whatever else . . . all part of her ongoing life experience.

She can finish digging up a new garden bed in the time it takes me to go back

 to the garage and get a second shovel! I’m convinced there’s nothing this woman

can’t do!
