Hard work can make you happy

I posted an entry over at Between the Keys about a yearly chore that needs done. It's not a big deal - until you start pulling up weeds. 

The area at the gable end of my house does have a woven weed barrier down. I got a roll of the good stuff from Grower's Solutions. It does stop weeds from coming up from beneath it, but it doesn't stop weeds and grass from putting down shallow roots in the pea gravel. Of course, shallow roots are easier to dislodge. One must simply get to work. 

I'm happy to have the area cleaned up. I much prefer arriving home to a neatly tended area that is virtually weed-free. It helps keep me happy.
