We’ve had so much rain lately, I can’t keep up with the weeds.

Same here. I pull up grass every time I go outside.

I was just thinking I would have to water today, when *boom* a monster thunderstorm hit us about 10 last night. We dug out two lugustrum today. I feel so good; I hate those things. Next spring, we'll put a native flowering shrub in the spot. Only six more to go ...

Wild privet?

We've been having at least one thunderstorm a day, it seems. It's like August rather than early June.

I’m about to go out and do some weeding right now in a pair of shorts and a pink t-shirt of my daughter’s (she only 4-5 inches shorter than me at age 12). Yesterday I did some weeding out in the front flower beds wearing a sundress that I bought at a thrift store for $4.

This is our first year of gardening. We built a raised bed in our backyard since we live on a corner lot in the booming metropolis of Fort Smith, LOL. We have tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, cantaloupe, and cucumbers out there. The tomato plants are taller than my daughter who turns six next week :) The onions are enormous, there are at least 4 cucumbers that I can see, and we have a healthy amount of jalapenos spread out over four plants.

I’ve got to go pull the weeds out and work those tomato plants back into the cages. I’m taking the two youngest out there to run around. My two oldest are in Indiana with their grandparents for a month! It’s a lot quieter around here :( Never mind—got 27 first-graders to herd next week in VBS! LOL I’m beginning to think the DRE doesn’t like me or something :)
