Gladys Jaworski gives llama Mike a pat between pulling handfuls of weeds from around blueberry bushes at Dimond Hill Farm; Thursday, June 30, 2011. "(I have) been a weeder all my life," said Jaworski, who was born and raised on a 100-acre farm. "I'm very fortunate to be still weeding at my age. I'm working on 84." It is her second summer working at Dimond Hill, and she said she likes that weeding keeps her outside.
