Working hard to
get the yard free of weeds
This summer has been busy
with a number of weddings and many Shows/Demonstrations that I have been
doing. Add to that the heat and the rain
from time to time – AND WE HAVE WEEDS growing – tall and strong. WOW! I couldn’t believe it yesterday as I
began working on the straggly critters.
We have a small patio that
is built around the large tree in our backyard. The tree is dead now and
waiting for me to either cut it down further or carve on in.
That patio area was my main
focus yesterday morning. I began pulling
weeds! Talk about insane!!
Some of the little ones were
very easy to pull and get rid of… BUT it was their big brothers that had not
been dealt with for weeks on end that had grown HUGE! Some were approaching epic proportions and
started moving the cement slabs that makes the patio. Some would not come out
at all but rather broke off with their main root still in place and ready to
come back when my back gets turned toward them. At times it took 15 minutes to dig
out some roots!!
I began to think that this
is a super illustration for life in general.
Let a Habit get going… let
it become more entrenched and more a part of your life… and it will not easily
be removed. Let a “small sin” become a
regular thing in your life and eventually it will destroy you entirely.
As I dug away at the roots
and pulled with all my strength of each one… even using a sharp blade to pry
away at the thing to raise it to the surface… it took a lot of effort.
If only I would have been
weeding all along… not missing a day or week at a time… the weeds would be easy
to pick.
It is clean now… only the dirt
that came up with the weed’s stem is showing as evidence to what was there.
Oh boy… in my life I need to
weed a few things out as well. That time
in the garden was a good lesson for me.
I am making my lists now of the weed problems in life generally and that
list is growing.
I can hear them starting
over again in our backyard… sheesh!
