I Screamed on the Garden Path

It was twilight and I was strolling my garden paths, making my to-do list for weeding, mulching, etc. for the next day. I was dictating notes into my cell phone and when I looked up, I saw this creature in front of me!!

I screamed!

I spent the morning pulling up that loathsome invasive creeping bellflower, the herpes of the plant kingdom. Once you get it, it doesn't go away; it might be dormant for a bit but it always comes back. I hate it with the fire of a thousands suns.
