Pulling Weeds And Pulling Teeth

For the last several days I have spent a great deal of time outside with Joe pulling weeds. Getting Joe to pull weeds for any length of time is kind of like pulling teeth. He is always asking when we are going to be done. He wants the answer to be in number of minutes, not weeds.

Our yard is looking much better after our combined efforts. We started with the front yard and finished the backyard. We filled 8 large construction bags, and two large trash cans with all of the weeds that we pulled.

The garden is finally looking nice. We can actually identify many of the vegetables growing in there now. Spring would have been an ideal time to start pulling weeds, but I was too busy dancing to do that, and Joe doesn't work alone.


I am grateful for Round-up, weed prevention powders, my little rototiller, my weed eater, and Joe. Hopefully we will be able to maintain our nice looking yard.
