I don’t know about you, but when the days start to get a little longer and brighter, I want to be outside.  I love fresh air.

I also love being able to putter around my yard, weeding, gardening…preparing.

There are some weeds, however, that drive me crazy.  Their roots are so flipping strong! I have to dig and dig, to get those ones out.  I keep at it until I get to the root. The effort required to take those ones out, versus the easy “just gently out” one is intense.

There was a time, however, not that long ago where I wouldn’t have invested the time to get that weed out by the root.  I would have pulled as hard as I could, taken out what I could visibly see and left it…until the visible part grew enough for me to remove it again.  And this cycle continued for years.

Why?  Because it just felt easier and faster. The garden looked okay, who cared what was growing underneath because it wasn’t visible anyway!  PLUS…NO ONE COULD SEE IT.

I used to tell myself that I hated gardening because my dad made us do it religiously when we were growing up.  I resented having to hand pull weeds from our grass and vegetable garden while other “normal” kids got to play.
