Weed eating.

I sure can get excited over the smallest things! 

I finally bought me a new (I call it mimi) weed eater! 

The one I had in Madras was old, hardly worked, and electric and I had to drag a cord around. And...it was heavy. I said goodbye to it when I moved here. 

My son has been taking care (mostly) of the tall grass and weeds here since I moved 2 years ago (has it really been over 2 years since I moved here?) But this summer he had an injury and just hasn't been able to do it. I've been pulling weeds by hand.

That grass was growing all along the fence. I pulled it by hand. Phew. I borrowed the neighbor's weed eater once but it was way too heavy for me!

My new raspberry plants needed room to grow!

My new weed whacker weighs only 4 lbs. and I love it! Has a small battery, with one extra, and seems powerful enough to eat the tall grass and weeds and the smaller blackberries creeping through my fence. No more sore arms and no more cord dragging! It's my new best friend!

Here's my work from yesterday.

The grass here was 2 feet tall.....and all along the fence.. I still have more to do but this was a good start.

Now I can see my beautiful flowers!

Here's a photo of the brand of weed eater I bought in Amazon, in case you are interested in something lightweight. 

Hope you are having a beautiful week! I've enjoyed a few fun things the last month or so. That will be my next post!
