SO I finally finished the "Twilight" series.
Sorta.
The books were ALWAYS checked out at the library, and I don't like to buy books until I've read them, so I cheated. I asked my niece how the series ended.
........*listening*........*gasp* Eeeeew! That's so DROSS!!!
Honestly though, I have no doubt it was an entertaining and dramatic read, which was why I enjoyed the first book. And I REALLY hope my Twilight-infatuated friends will continue to speak to me.
So I just got home from a looong vacation to Idaho and found my garden almost hip high, crammed tight full of weeds. The effort to excavate the vegetables continues, and has inspired the following number...*ahem*
(cue music)
I...haaate...weeeeds!
*whack*
I hate them even from the time they're seeeeds!
They harbor pests, they make a mess, they bring me to my knees!
Oh I-I-I-I haaate weeeds!
*whack*
My back is sore, my fingers stiff, and so's my derr-i-ery.
I have to bribe my children to make them co-op-er-ary.
And when we pull, the roots they stay,
So it's all tem-po-ra-ryyyyyy
Oh I-I-I-I haaaate WEEEEEDS!
*WHACK*

Next year, it's small, easily managed raised beds and black underlay. Period.
