The War on Weeds

April showers have indeed brought on flowers, well in advance of May I might add. Blossoms are enveloping trees and bushes. Crocuses and tulips and daffodils have sprouted. Everything is fragrant and beautiful. I love it! Unfortunately, as is typically the case, there are two sides to every story.

Invasive plants are co-mingling among the pleasantries of spring and attempting to take over.  This is the part of the season I am not so thrilled about. Tending to weeds is another one of those chores which seem futile, and a task which I liken to shoveling snow or to dusting. And you know how much I love doing that. I could spend a lot of time and a lot of energy to get rid of all those ugly weeds which are running rampant throughout my yard, but they’ll just come back. Fortunately, I have TruGreen on speed dial.

But despite my obvious aversion, and since I’ve shared a myriad of photos of lovely spring flowers, I thought it only fair to post at least one picture of the offending plants before they are eradicated. I strive to be an equal opportunity blogger, after all.
