| The Dragon Whose Name is Lamb's Quarter |
|
|
In the heat and humidity of the week, I took out an army of
fearless teens. We wore our battle armor -- gardening gloves -- and
fought a great fight with the dragon weed whose name is Lamb's Quarter.
Lamb's Quarter, considered edible by some, is our mortal enemy, but we
were strong and brave, and we hunted him down until he cried for mercy.
Now, he lies in the hot sun, gasping, and we reign triumphant in the
shade, sipping well-earned iced tea.
The Queen
strawberries have rewarded us, their faithful courtiers, by showing some
red! My kids collected a handful this morning, and we think we will be
able to bid you welcome to our Kingdom of Strawberries July 1, or
possibly late next week, to collect the jewels of the realm:)
From the Captain of the Infantry,
