I do have a garden!

But there has been so much that I have had to do that I haven't been able to get out into it.  You know what that means don't you - WEEDS!  A few days ago I was pruning the hedges in the front.  I'm also pruning away some of the weeds that are around the house as well and as you can well imagine if you don't take care of them the weeds grow and grow - which is what they did!  They even managed to find a crack and grow through it so that there was growth INSIDE the windows!  The weeds are growing so tall that they are starting to reach my second story window!  As the weeds continue to grow their branches get thicker which makes them harder to cut!

I have a lot of work ahead of me!  It's been so hot and humid that I haven't been out as much and then it starts to rain which makes the weeds grow more!  But I am determined to have a Martha Stewart-like atmosphere - you know with the birdbath (already got one of those) and the windchimes (got a set of them (sharks) hanging already) and just have a pleasant little outside area - with a garden!

Weeds!

Late in the afternoon (when the sun was going down) I continued to clear the weeds from one side of the house.  They had overgrown so much!  Plus there's a rosebush there that is at least 20 years old.  I should have took a picture of it so that I could post it here but hopefully I will remember to do that the next time!  Anyways the rosebush had grown so much that it was bent over and touching my neighbor's lawn.  Today I managed to cut it back but I still have a ways to go!  The weeds have grown thick and the area is kind of on a slope so getting around it ain't easy.  I have made progress though and it shows.  I may have to call a tree service to get rid of the thicker weeds which have grown into small trees!

The weeds grew right through the window and that was what I heard when the wind was blowing strong.

Hopefully this will serve as a lesson to those of you that don't know and the lesson is that if you don't get rid of the weeds they will grow and grow!
