Musings On Country Life

Several months ago, we moved out to the country. Our home sits on 14 beautiful acres overlooking a river. Is this heaven or hell? As we adapt to country life, I find I need a creative outlet to share the trials and tribulations, as well as the joys of country life.

Ahh . . . . Country Life!

Noxious Weeds

A notice in the paper stated that all county property owners were required to spray for any known noxious weeds prior to May 15th. It proceeded to list about 20-30 varieties of noxious weeds, none of which I could identify if my life depended on it. Okay, okay, maybe I could point out a thistle plant, but I have never heard of the rest. then the notice goes on to state that if you have know noxious weeds and don't spray to control them, the county will come spray them and send you a bill for the cost plus a fine. So my question is . . . if i don't "know" that I have them, does it count?

I see farmers out spraying the fields. I suspect they take this stuff seriously. Back to Google to see if I can find some photos . . .
