Like Death and Taxes

Weeds. Again. And quite frankly I'm surprised because leading up to this summer I took all the proper precautions to make sure I wouldn't spend hours and hours of back breaking work pulling them out. We dug up all the existing weeds with a fabulous gizmo called a "hula hoe" that was given to me by my mother in law, then we put down something that was supposed to prevent weeds from growing back, and lastly that very same day, we mulched. It vastly improved the look of the yard. However, as I walked around the house today, to my horror I saw those little green beasts sprouting up again. 

So I guess it's inevitable. Weeds grow and you just need to pull them out one at a time, breathe, and do your best not to be overwhelmed with them.
