The battle at dandelion hill

Creeeaaakkkkk!
That is the sound my joints were making yesterday morning after an entire
day of working in my perennial garden.
It is amazing how many muscles we do not realize we have until we do
something out of the ordinary. It is also amazing how many weeds can grow in
a 15X15 ft. space.
Grass and dandelions seem to appear out of no where and no matter how many
days I spend hacking at them, they seem to reappear in other places.
In fact I swear that when I started at one

corner of the garden yesterday that by the end of the day, especially when
my back was turned to it, more were showing their ugly leaves where I had
started.
I love growing the beautiful flowers, but I really am beginning to hate
weeding. But they have always said “War is Hell” and “No Pain No Gain!”
The first major battle is over, but there are many more campaigns to be
waged as the warmer weather shall be upon us soon (I hope).
