Hey, emony42!

[shadesofmauve]

OMG emony42, your parents just showed up at my house with 3 bags of wood chips! They didn't think I'd be home, so they were just planning on being the magic wood chip fairies. And your Dad had excellent advice for pruning the big rhody in front (as I thought he would), and and and is going to figure out a time to bring the chipper over. And I just tried to ignore the part where he suggested I spray my jungle with nasty chemicals. It was so cool! In a "This is wonderful but holy shit, I don't realize how awful my yarden is until people who have really nice, tidy yards come look at it" way. I think habituation has somewhat blinded me to the gigantic scope of my projects.

So.

Basically, it's your parents' fault I'm working in my yarden instead of cleaning my fridge, kay? :P

EDIT: Also I was very good and didn't curse or blaspheme once. :P

*giggles* Magic wood chip fairies!

Y'know, nice and tidy is overrated. Wild meadows are often beautiful.

I absolutely agree about tidy versus wild meadows (or forest) and my goal is actually the latter -- but unfortunately waist-high blackberry/ivy jungles qualify as neither. :(

Yeah, I think those qualify as 'thickets'.

Happy mulching! The fridge will still be there tomorrow, but the sunshine won't. Seize the shovel!
