Rain Rain Go Away

It's been raining forever. I can't stand it. I like spring, but god, it seems like it rains a lot during spring. It was like 80 degrees on Saturday and today it's freezing, damp, cold, yucky. Good weather to pull weeks in the backyard. Great weather to say, out loud, "I hate you, you stupid plant" over and over, as I pulled out the terribly invasive Japanese Knotweed that's basically taken over my back yard. Um. Back banking, not yard, really. I've put down weed block, and the weeds just poke freaking holes through the weed block stuff. I doubled it up on one small area today, and started mulching. I need about 6 more bags. My car is making a rattling noise and I"m hoping it's not bad. I'm also wondering if it's from carrying 2 bags of mulch in the trunk, from the Depot to home. Or if it's just something loose.
Ok. Enough. I'm off to read a book (true story) about a woman who went off to search for her relatives, all of whom have extra fingers. Book report will be written when finish. It's called Kinfolks, by Lisa Alther.)
