This looks like a crabapple tree. It reminds me of why it's not fun to have any kind of apple tree...unless you like apple picking!
With the recent wet weather, it's been good for weeding as the earth becomes soft. I've realized the only successful way to weed is to dig really deep and ensure you extract the whole root of the plant. I may have heard this many times over, but finally realized I've been doing it wrong. It's almost like planting in reverse. This means you have to be patient and not be in a hurry to get as many weeds as you can. Do you pull weeds and if so do you think you do it correctly?
M and I saw the new Batman movie this week (The Dark Knight Rises). We went on half price Tuesdays at the Cineplex. For all the hype, I thought the movie was okay, but maybe I preferred Spiderman. From the previews, there is a new movie coming out next summer that looked interesting called 'Man of Steel' (Superman). I'm all caught up on the movies I wanted to see for now.
L is getting ready to leave for university once again. It never gets easier and every year she becomes more adult, spreading her wings and ever ready to move on, looking forward to new opportunities. Her new rental house is older, she will be sharing with a number of schoolmates. It seems we have to buy more stuff every year. Her bathroom needs new mats, shower curtains, extra storage. I got her an over the door towel rack and some extra shelves.
K will start a new school year and I hope his lessons will go well. He will try to keep his part time job, if school work will allow.
We've been enjoying the Olympics, especially Usain Bolt and the Jamaican team's success.

Nicr picture Christine!
I dont see Batman yet! But hope to see soon:)
have a nive weekend dear!
Lovely picture! I ususally leave the weeds in the pots on my balcony, as long as they are pretty....Valerei
Our 2 yardmen come once a month to pull weeds and mow the lawn, so David doesn't have to. Glad your son has a job; he'll mature faster. I haven't seen a movie in over a year or so. Just don't have the inclination anymore.
I haven't seen any of these new movies, and have no intention of renting them either..There just isn't enough time and I've become very impatience to sit still.
As for weed pulling, I'll have to remember your tip! Thanks Christine!
Nice picture of that huge tree. I haven't seen the new Batman movie yet.
Enjoy your weekend.
I wish my movie theater had a half price night
Crapapple tree....can use apple for cooking only....lol!
You need to get a horse! They will eat up all that falls from the tree LOL
its always bitter sweet when the summer comes to an end, watching our children grow up and out of the nest, you sound a little sad, don't worry we are always here, lol, our theater has half price on tuesday's but its very very busy!!! I always made crab apple jelly with my crab apples,
Sounds like you've got a lot going on around you!
I just cleaned out all our flower pots for the summer. Nothing in the pots survived the drought. We do still have roses blomming in the yard, though.
The last Batman movie I saw was Catwoman...that's an oldie. My favotite line is when she comes home and says "Honey, I'm home. Oh I forgot I live alone". HA!
My husband has a small hand tool he uses to dig down around the weed and get it all out. I just pull real hard. It usually works.
