woweeds

For some reason, I do not remember my yard being so utterly hideous. Well, it’s not hideous, the beauty is just buried under piles of weeds and dirt, as is much of New Mexico. I think it’s kind of romantic that we’ll be uncovering the potential in our yard (my husband will not be reading this or he will laugh endlessly at this observation).

I had the intentions of getting rid of the weeds last year, honestly. There is even a wheel barrow to prove it! As you can see in the pictures, I slowly began to realize that coming up with a free and easy idea of getting rid of weeds either involves a secret-op burn at 2:30 in the morning, so as to not alert the fire department of my fire; or cramming all of the weeds into black garbage bags, about 100 of them, and shoving them into the trunk of my volvo. hahaha that would have been worth it if we could have taken video footage.

Anyway, they are still there and the guy that is building the porch promised me that he would remove the unsightly wanderers. Well hopefully we’ll make some progress soon. We’ve been in this house since January of 07, so it’s about time we have somewhere to hang out! This yard will probably take more than one summer, but that’s the beauty of container gardening, or so i hear.

After an afternoon of staring at my bleak yard, I realized the only cute thing in the yard was my four year old son.
