Futility

Because neither Aa nor I really know the difference between weeds or flowers, our yard / garden care is either:

• abject neglect, because we don't want to rip out any of the nice flowers the lady who owned this house for 30+ years planted and lovingly cultivated
• violent, oafish, Vikings-razing-a-peaceful-village action wherein we rip, hack, yank, chop everything out of the ground.

We just Vikinged the hell out of our backyard for the last three hours. Since it is late May in Seattle, it should be completely overgrown again by Wednesday morning.
