I Had A Weed Pulling Angel In My Yard Today

When I got home from my appointment today I saw a lady pulling weeds at the corner of where I live. I went over and talked to her and she said she just noticed the weeds and she thought she would do a good deed and pull them. I told her that I just sprayed them last night as she could see. I also explained to her that I can't get down there and pull the weeds like I used to and she was very understanding. I don't like weeds and the landlord told me that they will keep that stuff up. Well they haven't been. I felt bad that I couldn't help her. She did tell me that the last 10 years the landlords hasn't been keeping the place up. I came inside and got a cold bottle of water and walked out and offered it to her. She greatly accepted it. I had nothing else to offer her. I thanked her and let her know that she was my angel of the day.

She was a sweetheart. I told her what I was doing for my son and she said, "I am doing a good deed for you like you are doing for your son". That brought tears to my eyes. How are you doing my friend? Does it help you here when I like your comments? I never understood that part of it.

She was a sweetheart. I explained to her about the accident and how I can' get down to pull the weeds. She was very caring. All I could offer her was a bottle of cold water. I have never seen her before but I will remember her.

I don't have to keep the weeds pulled around here but I do when I can. She really surprised me with what she was doing. I explained to her that since my accident I can't get down there and pull them. She was an angel in my eyes.

That was sweet of her, I wish someone would pull mine for me. Every year it gets worse and worse, I probably own stock in the weed killers of the world but they don't seem to help

Do they ever, we live on a corner at the foot of the mountain and when the wind blows we get every stinkin weed in the valley. I hate it, although one day I found $13 out there in the yard so bonus for me. lol

@cintol Now that is a nice bonus. That wind can bring in some good things.

Yes, there are good people out there. I didn't have that many weeds in my yard area but there were a bunch at the corner. I sprayed all of them last night. I am the only tenant here that tries to help out.

All my rentals the tenant has to keep up the grass and weeds. There is no way I could ever keep up all of them like that.

I was doing good about keeping the area in front of my place up good until the accident. I did spray the weeds last night. A lot of the weeds she pulled was in front of the other tenants places. I even sprayed them last night. The landlord said that they would do all the upkeep themselves but they don't do it. I don't mind keeping things up around my apartment but the rest should take notice and do the same. Dealing with the things that happened with my car accident I can't get down and dig up the weeds.
