Family Vacation Day 11

Today was pretty much all about the weeds. On the one hand the with all the rain that we had this year, the weeds are growing like crazy and the brush clearance deadline (May 1st) is just around the corner. At times it was overcast and then sunny, with a light breeze going and the temperature was rather moderate. That made it a great day for getting yard work done. I spent roughly an hour pulling weeds. I really didn't want mom to pull weeds, as I figured that wouldn't do her back any good. So she spent time walking around and reading.
Later in the afternoon I went back out to pull more weeds. I made quite some progress on the west facing slope. By the time I stopped I realized, that I had a blister on my thumb even with the working gloves. Not quite sure how I managed to do that. But this was a clear indication, that today's weed pulling session had to come to an end.
Later I warmed up some of the left overs for dinner, since Kenny was running late. After dinner mom and I chatted a little before she got ready to go to bed.
