Flakes is pondering survival of fittest, and weeding. Not weed. Weeding. This is Nebraska, not Colorado.
It is weeding season here on the ranch. Why do the weeds grow faster than the vegetables? Or the grass?
You may, or may not, know that I have three sons. Two of them are teenagers. It takes a huge garden to feed these human food disposal units. Large garden = many weeds. Hubby has also been scouting for thistles in the pasture and deploying the human food disposal units with machetes to chop them out. Yep, three boys with machetes.
