Don't feel too bad about the Roundup. ...Nancy,<br /><br />Don't feel too bad about the Roundup. At work where Environment is our middle name, 3 of us had a serious scientific discussion about Roundup and plain Roundup at coffee break one day (The chemical name of plain Roundup without addatives is glyphosate and there's a generic inexpensive version at Home Depot) isn't that bad--we decided it was the best alternative when you have to get rid of quack grass, etc. <br /><br />Hope my little visit didn't slow you down too much Friday and thanks for having me!<br /><br />TerryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22671526.post-11961461751673329282010-05-30T04:41:46.152-05:002010-05-30T04:41:46.152-05:00I love Roundup.

Make sure you give yourself time to sit down with a drink and enjoy all of the wonderful things that surround you :)Shulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04357891034163165341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22671526.post-28557617393922632012010-05-29T22:22:21.596-05:002010-05-29T22:22:21.596-05:00Our goats can't keep up with the grass either....Our goats can't keep up with the grass either.

Although I am not working outside the farm, I am working full-time on a 30 acres farm...alone. There is simply not enough time or energy and that grass is insane this time of year. <br /><br />Although I don't use chemicals here the weeds and pasture management create the same need for a livable pasture philosophy. I've developed my own sort of 12 Steps for Perfect Pasture Junkies....<br /><br />Today I will do what I can and ignore everything I didn't get to. I can do no more and will NOT beat myself over the head about it. The sheep are still happy, the chickens are having a ball and those weedy flowers have a beauty of their own. I will do what I can to get all that damned thistle out but will not attempt Seppuku over that snarky weed. I have until fall to deal the burdock a fatal blow and will not ruin my June over it. The sand burrs; well hell, I'm trying for goodness sake, and they best not try me or I might just HAVE to set fire to the entire field in self-defense...Ain't a judge in the land who wouldn't understand. I will enjoy sunrises as their own gift and not heavily sigh that the day will be too short for all the work to be done.<br /><br />Hang tight, winter will come and we will all be wistfully dreaming of this season.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16501287791665224636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22671526.post-44225632416379701842010-05-29T19:10:11.204-05:002010-05-29T19:10:11.204-05:00Dont worry mama.

My back isn't up to much more than sitting this weekend, but I could mow all day! :) <br /><br />It is amazing to me. Four 12 & 13 year olds require almost more supervision than 4 toddlers! The things they think up to do that THEY think is a good idea.... sheeesh!<br /><br />Keep eating Dreamer, keep eating. You're going to need it with those quintuples you're carrying! ;) OK, I'm just teasing you Dreamer. You don't really have 5 babies in there; you are just a bit round, though! I'll give you an extra cookie when I come down, to apologize. <br /><br />Katie in WIAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22671526.post-34766262406135617392010-05-29T11:12:15.380-05:002010-05-29T11:12:15.380-05:00I am the Queen of Roundup! :DI am the Queen of Roundup! :DJuliannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08180577028964783681noreply@blogger.com
