No sleep and lots of weeds...sigh

I'm super tired this morning; busy dreams, restless sleep. Might be allergies, might be that I have a ton of work stuff on my mind, it might be the state of the nation/world-- at any rate, I'm not sleeping worth a tinker's dam, and frankly I am ready for summer vacation. Unfortunately, that is not for some time yet.

That all said, though, the weather has improved immensely, and maybe after a full day at work followed by what promises to be a lengthy staff meeting, maybe I'll get to enjoy a little of it. Everything is blooming in our backyard, and while there is still a lot of die-back on the fruit trees and two small rose bushes look decrepit, mostly things are lovely and flourishing. I need to weed my strawberry bed-- I hope they are not entirely choked out by those pernicious weeds that pop up and take over. I looked those weeds up last year, and there's nothing much to be done short of scorched earth tactics. I think it's sometimes called Bishop Weed, and it has far-reaching root structures-- as soon as you think you've pulled it all, it crops up even worse. Nasty stuff. O it looks pretty enough, but it chokes everything out and the flowers smell weird. I want it gone.

So, what I really need is a warm day at home. Looks like maybe Saturday, but more rain is in the forecast...of course. 

Maybe I'll get it done on Friday afternoon. Assuming all goes well.

Have a good day,
