The Need to Weed

I have a fine crop of thistles out in the back yard. I also have some very nasty, invasive field bindweed that is attempting to take over my moongarden. I really must weed! And the deck pots would look ever so much better if I would get out there and snip off the dead blooms from the geraniums. It has been so dry I have not needed to mow the lawn for nearly four weeks. There has been rain in the last few days which has greened up the grass a bit, but hasn't spurred enough growth to fire up the lawnmower. It has been an odd summer thus far, there have been a few hot days but I haven't yet resorted to running the air conditioner. I think it works. I certainly hope it does. I better run out and buy a new coffee maker before the AC decides to be the third appliance failure. But I'm going to weed and dead-head first! Pretty ambitious for a girl who's still in her nightie.
