Brilliant Weeder

I’ve come across a brilliant new weeder:

I was dreaming of a small weeder that could fit between tight rows, and hack off the weeds at their roots with minimal effort. Rather like a rototiller you could hold in your hand.

Or perhaps an electric garden knife.

But my budget does not allow for expensive experimentation.

It does, however, let me shove a serrated dollar store knife in my cupboard drawer and bend it…

Which led to this:

It cuts through the roots of weeds with ease (so long as I keep the mud wiped off):

Which leaves weeds I can just brush off the surface of the soil.

Dang good find!

Green Apple Smoothie

We have a new favourite smoothie!

fill up the cracks with apple juice

Green Tasty Goodness!!!

(really)

Today is…Wednesday Mar 30 2011

We had a gospel lesson. About how the Saviour is like a doctor…

We had a party to celebrate Texas Grandpa’s Birthday…

The boys had a fun time at the library preschool story time, where they ate their crafts (a decorated graham cracker kite) and left me nothing to take pictures of.

A very sweet, tasty, and fun day!
