In 1968, 4 of us headed out to Washington to work in a Green Giant Pea factory. Two really didn’t really need the money and had only come along for the ride, but Teddy and I needed the money to help pay for college. On our days off, Teddy and I would sit on the steps of the country store in Dixie Washington, and farmers would stop and hire us for a 10-12 hour day at $100. It was usually hard and dirty work, but some days we walked the wheat fields and just pulled weeds. This morning, I woke up having a soulful, introspective moment pulling weeds that were starting to choke out my daily joy. Do you have some weeds that need pulling today?
