People ask what I'll do when I retire

I'm pretty sure I have an answer.

When I retire, I'll devote full time to eradicating wild onions from my yard. A few years ago, my back yard looked like an onion farm (wild onions aren't edible. They're just a PITA). I pulled a full bushel of them that year, and every year since, I've pulled armloads.

I think I'm finally making a difference (we all want to make a difference :) ), and there's only about two thousand of them in the yard this year. I'm careful to pull them in a way that gets the whole bulb, but I'm not always successful.

There are so many that I concentrate on the ones that are in flower beds, and can't be mowed, then I mow the rest. I pull the ones in the lawn when I have time, but they'll go to seed if I don't mow, and we CAN'T have that!

I'll retire in three years if all goes well. Then the onions will rue the day! I'll stop pulling them, and carefully DIG each one!

When I finish with onions, I'll go after the vines!

Guess how I spent my day :):):).

1. When people ask me that, I reply,

"Whatever I damn well please." And it won't be weeding.....

2. But weeding is free

It's surprisingly therapeutic, too.

Sure, I plan to travel, sail, take classes, etc. But all those things will run you broke if you do them every day. Weeding is free, and you get exercise and fresh air... PLUS, you eradicate those goddamn onions!!!!!!!!
