This will probably be the last coneflower shot you will see for a little while. I love coneflowers when they are blooming, but oh what an ugly mess they can become. But when they become that ugly mess, is when the goldfinches love them. I have left them a good while, but today was that day of reckoning.
First I stood and looked and looked to make sure I seen no yellow jackets stirring around anywhere in the mess. I didn't see a single yellow jacket...for something so little they can carry a powerful punch. So Roger came out to see what I was doing...I gave him the job of manning the wheel barrow. and I pulled up coneflowers and weeds and grass. Remember I said it had become one heck of mess. I don't know how many loads went to the compost pile, but we got it done.
I had sprayed round up earlier....I am not crazy about using it but my weedeater is so hard to start that I just quit battling it a few years ago.
I came in from all of that and did up dishes after I showered...I am done for the night.
Which leads to the fact that I can watch Jeopardy again! We have Directv and have been without that channel for I don't know how long. We have missed Jeopardy, even if it was reruns...and Songland...I was so afraid we were going to miss The Voice. So I am a happy camper that way.
I hope you all have a nice weekend...Lorelei is here tonight, and possibly tomorrow night...one of my daughters is going to come sew tomorrow. After a visit to the quilt shop! So that is fun to look forward to.
