My kids’ great grandma is 86 and she is in her garden pulling weeds and trimming stuff seemingly every day. I see her outside all the time. Smokes like a chimney too 😂
He also mows our property 😂 I guess he likes that too.
I know another couple in this situation. They have several large gardens because they need the food. They are outside working every day and also in their 70s.
What stuck me about the first couple was the choice to do something quite physically challenging so late in life. That they've been doing it for four years shows they didn't give up.
