Firethorn bush

I have a "to do" list of things that need to be done before the Easter egg hunt in the backyard with friends, so I tried to tackle the dreaded vine-like grass that Shia uses as a potty spot, however, it is so overgrown, it is nearly impossible to clean-up. Right next to this grass is a dreaded firethorn bush. This bush has little thorns that are very difficult to get out of your skin. While I was wacking away at the grass with the weedwacker (just to break-up the grass and vines) this stupid bush kept grabbing me!!! So I put the weed wacker down and got out the hedger and lopers and a few hours later-ALL GONE!!! Sadly, I was so mad that I accidentally sliced through the extension cord (luckily there are LOTS of safety features curtisy of other idots who have gotten the shock of their lives!!) and I wasn't hurt, just embaressed! So, there is still more grass to be wacked, but the bush is gone!!! One step closer to being ready for easter!!!
The before as a reminder

The after!!!! I think that I am done ripping out until after easter. I just need things cleaned up a bit

  1. I can't believe how much you've done! I think I would've just been overwhelmed and then not accomplished anything. You are a weed whacking rock star!
