A love letter to my garden weasel.

elfsI really do love the garden weasel.
You know, they're sold on late-night television shows and you're really never sure what they're for. Weird Al mocked them in his song about infomercials. But this weekend, I discovered that the garden weasel is the indepensible tool for recovering a failing, moss-addled lawn. It's not fast-- about 20 square feet an hour-- but it's a hell of a lot faster than the moss rake. (You still need a moss rake to rake out the moss, but it's easier to do after the weasel has loosened its grip on the soil.)
I also mowed the lawn, which needed it in some places and didn't need it at all in others. The kids, the moss, and the dandelions have really beaten the hell out of my back yard.
Omaha weeded the front flower bed, and Lisakit took the back garden bed. Slowly but surely, the house is shaping up for spring.
