weed jousting

Hello my friends! I've gotta a lot of catching up to do.

Our kids are in school now and it's just me and my husband at home. We still have about two weeks before we start school. We are enjoying the time together!

We came home to lots and lots of weeds. They were climbing up our windows and choking up our nice plants. The grass was kept maintained which was surprising because it usually turns into a jungle after a few weeks. So it was the weeds taking over our home while we were out. I had never pulled so many weeds in my life! There was this one weed that was very annoying. It had thorns all over it (even on the leaves) so that if you barely touched it you would get poked quite harshly. Pesky little thing! Some weeds came up easily and others you had to pull with all your might. And som were taller than us! My kids had fun with the giant ones. They did a bit of jousting with them. Who knew that weeds could be such entertainment for teens.
