Pokey Problem

You know you have a sticker problem in your yard when your outside activities consist of digging up grass burrs. You know you have a sticker problem when you most look forward to rain so it will make the ground softer to pull up grass burrs. You know you have a sticker problem when your children fetch their sticker-pulling gloves to help you fill the bucket. You know you have a sticker problem when a common game has become pretend-to-poke-the-children-with-the-grass-burrs-as-you-pull-them-and-they-jump-on-the-trampoline. You know you have a sticker problem when you close your eyes at night and see grass burrs.
But you also know you have an awesome gardener for a husband when you find things like this...
 ...and this...
 ...and this around the yard.

But really, we know we have a sticker problem and are really tired of grass burrs...

I wish I could have "stuck" around and helped pull grass burrs. They are a nasty menace. You are beginning to get the upper hand on them. Just keep at it.
