Come up Quote by Laura Ingalls Wilder

“The life of the earth comes up with a rush in the springtime. All the wild seeds of weed and thistle, the sprouts of vine and bush and tree, are trying to take the fields. Farmers must fight them with harrow and plow and hoe; they must plant the good seeds quickly.” quote by Laura Ingalls Wilder
