Time to Weed Eat the Butterfly

Have been out in the yard a lot today. A few more blooms have popped up. And lots more weeds. In Dustin's garden, there needs to be weed eating done soon. They are taking over the butterfly stones and the memorial. Maybe this weekend, after the rain, that will be the next project to work on. Snapped this photo to show you all the tiny weeds growing. You can tell spring is in the air.

I think those tiny so called weeds are lovely and should not be messed with but that's me.

@CarolDM You remind me that I should attack my wild and crazy rose disaster.

I think I may leave these actually, now that i look at them again. But the ones around the rose bush have to be trimmed back.

I worked in the garden this morning, pulling off weeds, cutting some overgrown bushes and cleaning what the wind blew around. This butterfly will look beautiful without the weeds, it is already beautiful.

I got a good deal of gardening last week, but it has been fairly wet the last couple of days, so I have a bit of catching up to do out there once it drys out

I suddenly missed my old man's tomb. I anticipated that it needs to weed out. But I cannot because of this virus.

@CarolDM — yeah, my allergist asked me how I was feeling this morning. I said, “Great, but ask me that again in two weeks.” Fun in the Ohio Valley.

That butterfly is so pretty in your garden. It's nice to see green in your picture. Our grass is still on the brown side as spring hasn't really arrived yet.

That's a beautiful butterfly... and yes, you're getting more green growth than we are. My daughter and I walked down to the ditch/culvert at the end of our back yard today. We have a lot of tree limbs that need to be cleaned up but not much in the way of green showing yet.

Good luck with your weeding whenever you undertaker that task. Since it's too windy to work windows just yet I may begin doing some wedding here before or weeds completely take over again. Do you have to work in the weeding there all summer?
