Bane of My Existence

These little pokey, crunching, obnoxious seeds or pods or whatever they are ALL OVER the back yard.

They don't respond well to raking.

Which means I've been spending 20 minutes or so every day after work, crawling around in my lawn picking up pointy little balls and depositing them into a huge lawn trash bag

You know, when I became a homeowner this really isn't what I had in mind.
