愚公移山, 愚婦移牆. Katy singlehandedly moved the chain-link fences

When I came home from work one day last week, Katy has singlehandedly moved the chain-link fences, beginning the process of expanding the garden (again).

 
愚公移山 literally means “the dumb old man moves the mountains”, but this Chinese idiom figuratively means “where there is a will, there is a way”.   So 愚婦移牆 literally means “the old lady moves the fences”; it figuratively means “When Katy has a will, there is a way”.  She used some of the principles in physics to get the job done.
