Random Things

Our flower beds in the back yard have been overtaken by weeds. So many weeds. It was gorgeous out this weekend so I did a little backyard cleaning while the kids and the dog played. I got the Garden Claw out and began tearing up the flower bed.

I compare my experience to that of eating spaghetti.

The roots on these weeds were so long! It was like the Garden Claw was a giant fork and I was twirling spaghetti noodles around and around to make a nice and neat bite so as not to make a giant mess.

Sheesh!

These noodles, however, had a few unwelcome guests. The kids were playing with the rolly polly family they found in the dirt and I kept dodging the beetles, bees, spiders and frogs that kept sneaking out of the dirt. There are some really big bugs out here. Have I mentioned that?

And evidently this is the time of year for all the baby lizards to come out and play. Holy cow! There has been this one little lizard stuck in one of the windows in our front room for about a week. The cat amuses me as he tries to get the pesky little critter...he just can't quite figure out why he is unable to get it. Keeps him busy. hehe!
