HULA HO!

Look,  No Weeds!!

Wow!  What a great tool!  I finally feel like we might be able to get a handle on the weeds.  I was so overwhelmed weeding by hand, one weed a time.  Jim ordered a hula ho after hearing our neighbors talk about it.  I tried it out yesterday and was impressed with the speed with which I was able to do the front yard and start on the orchard.  Today I finished the orchard and did the entire side yard on the south side of the house.  Fortunately Jim came home and raked up the side yard for me as that makes it go much faster.  I know we'll have to keep doing follow up sessions but it is SO MUCH less overwhelming.  I just wish we had a day or two off so we could get the entire yard done and tidied up.  It looks much, much better without all the weeds!

And the lilacs are blooming!!  (better photo coming soon)
