There is tremendous satisfaction from pulling weeds out of the soil. Backbreaking and endless the chore, but it always gives me a sense of triumph.

My yard is a series of rooms..flung around the edges of the lawn. Tearing the roots of thistles, bind-weed, wild grasses single-minded in the sun and the heat. (I love the sun and the heat. Love it!)

I ripped and tore with tremendous concentration–covering 1/2 acre…stopping only at the end of the day.

feeling the soil give up the stubborn root; the foe lying defeated in my wheelbarrow

The farm yard felt calm and empty as I worked. Pleasant, peaceful, healing!

I still have the east side of the house to do, but today is Sunday. And it’s trying to rain.
I played hookey (just this morning) from changing water, letting Terry get the early morning sets! I’ll be back out there at noon and beyond. Right now I’m taking a wee break!
I love the silence of solitude.
Love,
Linda
