Chinese Elm

Dylan and I were walking down the street yesterday, and I noticed the neighborhood is yet again blanketed with chinese elm seeds. If I had a magic wand, I would make them all disappear. It made me think of when we cut down our chinese elm, which is still sending up little trees...five years later! Luke has poured salt into the stump, dug out roots, and even soaked it in diesel fuel and burned it. The thing just won't die! Luke is going to get a stump grinder this week and try to kill the "wicked witch" once and for all so we can build our fire pit. If everything goes well, we'll be roasting marshmallows before too long!
