I&#8217;m going to leave it there in the yard for a few days and see what happens.<\/p>\n<p>After that  I played in the dirt for a while.  I got an area that was crammed with violets and lily of the valley cleaned out.  My neighbors were happy to get the lily of the valley, and I want to plant clematis in that space, so it&#8217;s all good.  After that I spent some time figuring out the best way to use my new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gardenweasel.com\/garden-weasel-products\/garden-weasel-tools\/weasel-edger-chopper\/\" target=\"_blank\">Garden Weasel edger<\/a>. Once I got the hang of it, it worked quite well.  Affordable, easy to use &#8211; I recommend this tool.<\/p>\n<p>Then I spent a bit of time just hanging out with Jack, reading a book, and taking a walk &#8211; all in today&#8217;s really beautiful, warm sunshine.
