Rain is coming, nine days of it, after a mostly-dry February. Hallelujah.
Which also means that since I was feeling a lot better and the time was very short, I spent about two hours yesterday yanking out hundreds of weeds by the roots before that water lets them re-anchor. Before, the plants weren’t big enough to reliably pull clear to the taproot, the leaves would just tear off. I’d tried.
Okay, the answer to that is to use a trowel but that’s harder on my knitting hands.
I got the huge yard-trimmings bin half full and snapped this photo before calling it a night. I’d made decent progress, at least.
And then I spent today feverish and achy and mostly asleep and I just barely managed to get fluids down–the Crohn’s wanted in on the fun. Speaking of which, if the MAP vaccine currently in trial succeeds I am going to be first in line the first day and it would be SO cool to have a cure!
Anyway, re the germ relapse, I totally earned it but I’m still glad I got those weeds out. Some had already started to grow their stabby Hades heels.

I do hope this is a possible cure. Feeling bad that it did not come in time for my son. I remember when stomach ulcers were “caused by stress” until it was discovered that they were caused by a bacteria.
Comment by Sherry in Idaho 03.02.16 @ 7:02 amThank you for the photos of weeds instead of blossoms. It gives me a tiny bit of help in waiting for spring to make it to Minnesota!

Thank you for beautifying our virtual world. I, too, am eager for spring to show up. Sooner than later, now. 🙂
