Mass Murder

Lately, I've begun a battle with dandelions. They're vicious creatures. I attempted specicide last weekend, but to no avail. So on Tuesday, I got more dandelion killer. I planned my attack for Tuesday evening, but it was delayed for 1 to 2 days while I watered the lawn excessively. Today became D-Day. But when I read the instructions for application on the dandelion killer, I noticed the following line..."Do not use if the temperature is expected to exceed 85 degrees within the next 24 hours." Dammit! It's hot, what, one week a year here? And the planned attack managed to coincide with it. Or maybe it wasn't a coincidence. Maybe these dandelions are better connected than I thought. Mother Nature is protecting them. Grrrr
