This year, my modus operandi was to step on the little buggers (so they can't run away - ha, ha!) and saw them off at the base with my handy-dandy snaggle-toothed garden saw - what fun (not really)! Last year I pulled them out by the roots but that required wearing heavy gloves to protect against the thorns. It doesn't matter which method I use since they'll grow back profusely anyway but the beheading method is easier than yanking them out by the roots! ; D Don't worry - there are plenty more NM locusts in the woods - I merely chopped off the ones that had the temerity to rear their thorny heads in my pathway!
Went to senior center this morning for 10 am talk by Bandelier Ranger Tom Betts aobut his time at Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. I enjoyed the talk. I started wishing that I had become a national park ranger - the scenery is unparalleled! Tonight I told husband that we need to visit all the national parks in his retirement!
I checked the library for books on Wrangell-St. Elias but found none.
I am going to die from the heat in this house!
