i think it’s a good statement on the juxtaposition of man against nature.
and also? whenever i need to defend something i did in a slackerly half-assed way, i use words like juxtaposition and try to pass it off as art and stuff.
We have something like that in our drainage ditch next to the road. Does Rock Salt kill those weeds? BEcause if it does, I’m all over it. Send Domestic Extraordinaire’s husband over with it, would you please?
I’m assuming BH is Bossy’s Husband?? Has he finished the job and now needs a big round of applause?? Cause I’m married to a wonderful man who has about five acres of clover to attend to, a job that has mysteriously stalled, who probably WOULD finish if only he KNEW that half the western world was ready to APPLAUD. Cause he’s a male. And they love applause!!! I am ready to clap…

Considering Bossy’s self-reported record on finishing weekend task lists, I would wager the Bossy household dresses in the basement due to all the glass walls.
If it’s any consolation it took 2 trips to the home improvement store, a LOT of cussing and about 4 hours to hang one effing light over the kitchen table here.
At this rate, we’ll be done (and divorced) by 2016
My husband and Bossy’s husband may have been separated at birth. You have inspired me to take a picture of my side yard (after he recovers from my post about his love of publicly displayed trash cans) so everyone can see my weeds too.
Yeah, my gardener (why happens to be me) is fighting a losing battle with the weeds in our back lane. And it’s the little ones with the big roots that kill me.

September 13, 2008 at 1:03 pmMy husband would say, “Dig it all up and pour concrete!”
Domestic Extraordinaire says
September 13, 2008 at 1:06 pmwe have something similar on the side of our driveway. My hubby says, we can kill it with rock salt. I say, so go buy the darn rock salt already.
Cheri @ Blog This Mom! says
September 13, 2008 at 1:07 pmWhich one of Bossy’s husbands said that?
chocolatechic says
September 13, 2008 at 1:09 pmI have this stuff in a squirt bottle that eliminates weeds at the press of a button.

corrie says
September 13, 2008 at 2:28 pmFrom the looks of the finished project, ‘finish why?’ is the question?
Looks the same either way, quack grass or rocks…

September 13, 2008 at 6:34 pmShould we all just pay for lawn service and give up?
Mr Farty says
September 13, 2008 at 6:36 pmWhat? It looks fine to me.
Peg says
September 13, 2008 at 7:11 pmWhat Mr. Farty said. Truly looks better than my drive. Give BH some props!

September 14, 2008 at 10:56 amWhile there is definitely such a thing as a bad husband, I can honestly say I’ve never met a good weeding project.
dexter says
September 14, 2008 at 11:28 amIf you hire a lawn service, make sure it isnt trugreen! it only took them $1600 and 3 months to ruin my lawn. Bravo you morons good work

Leaf, probably... says
September 14, 2008 at 5:12 pmWeeding is for people who don’t have serious weekend plans involving naps and wine.
Dani says
September 14, 2008 at 5:31 pmThe big weeds like that are the easy ones. It’s the little butty ones that are hard work. The big ones look most impressive when you’re done though.
Well done for sticking at it BH!
nutmeg says
September 14, 2008 at 5:35 pmWeeds? We call that expensive ground cover.
