The Honeymoon (Anniversary) is Over

Anniversary weekend, but that’s over today. Work day Monday. Because of a farmer’s change in farming practice, this area is not farmed now. What is growing here now is the cursed pigweed. Two ways to rid pigweed: spray or pull. We avoid spraying when possible, so we pulled. And pulled. And pulled. And pulled some more. Backbreaking doesn’t describe it all, but we got 99.9% of it. We even had rain, glorious rain, for about 45 minutes. It felt unreal. Peanut (Woodstock) attended our work, but offered no helping hand. Hard work for us, but at least we are working together, like the last 50 years.
