My maters are done, history ,capute,. I fired up the lawn mower and run em over, then hit em with the rototiller.

sad, sad day for sure. But we got lots of tomate juice, salsa, spaghetti sauce canned up. Don't know why we can so much were still working on salsa from two years ago. I usually can keep up with the tomato juice, it makes a mean bloody mary.
