there's something very therapeutic about weeding. yes, pulling weeds. it's also very addicting. we ate outside tonight, and after dinner, i just had this impulse to start weeding the backyard. and we have a TON of weeds. it was almost like plucking eyebrow hairs. i found it difficult to stop, even as it was getting too dark and i could hardly see the actual weeds. of course, this was the first time i've ever pulled weeds, and tomorrow morning we'll probably find a million little holes in the backyard, but at least there will be no weeds!!

this having a house thing is fun, though a lot of work. sheesh.
