Springtime in the Country

I was sidelined today for the loathed weed-pulling day.  I shuddered at the announcement by my husband this morning that today was a “ work day.”  My barrel race was cancelled, so I felt a bit obligated and felt that it was a good opportunity to score some wife points.   When you own country property it is such a big job to just maintain the weeds. As my back ached from bending over all day I made the observation, that one can pull weeds and then walk back through the same area and see new ones already growing back?  Are they growing back at a blink of an eye or are my eyes just getting bad?  I love the springtime but this stuff is no fun!
