Remember that “weed” that was by my back door? You know, the one that I tried to pull out with my bare, manly hands…and promptly threw out my back?? Yeah, that weed. Well, I just thought I’d let you know that I conquered it. That’s right, it’s out! Now I just need someone to help me lift it into a bag so I can take it to the dump…

I thought I’d take a picture so that I could share my triumph with you. Sure I needed a spade (and I wore my work boots…because I’m always looking for another chance to get them dirty) and it required several minutes of digging because it was in such an awkward spot. But it’s out! So the score is Weed 1, Farwell 1. The weed definitely won the first round but I finished strong. Even if it was days later.

It occurs to me as I look at this picture that I should have placed something beside it for reference to its size. Something like a small airplane. But whatever. The weed is history! Unless I didn’t dig deep enough into those roots…

Still missing my green thumb,

Farwell
