It's bordering on terrifying!

For those of you grumbling about all the yard work you have to do (you know who you are ~.^) I give you pictures of part of my backyard. Top them if you can...

Oooh, it's a jungle out there!

I can't beat them, for my lovely husband spent a large chunk of the weekend taming our yard.

[smeddley.livejournal.com]

We need to at some point! But we're just not motivated, and now it's hot... :/ I think that's a good, solid weekend of work!

Oh, I think it's beautiful! Why would you want to cut that back? ;)

[smeddley.livejournal.com]

Mostly I just want to get rid of the fence area, because the dog wiggles in there and gets stuck. I do like the wild look, though, and even when the yard is 'tamed' it's not going to be manicured.

Dr Livingston I presume?

[smeddley.livejournal.com]

HA!

...wait, I think he might be in there...

*peers*

Well I'd take pictures of mine too, but I've already done some clearing work to it! Haha.

You just know you couldn't compete. Admit it. ;P

[alankria.livejournal.com]

It liiiiives!!!

I like it.

[smeddley.livejournal.com]

It has a certain charm, mostly that it is completely self-sustaining. Can you believe we don't have to do a thing with it? ;)

[alankria.livejournal.com]

I never would have guessed!

[akirad.livejournal.com]

Wow! I think I'd give up and just move house :)

PS Your photo prompt inspired an awesome crime thriller story which I keep meaning to finish off. Good job!

[smeddley.livejournal.com]

Believe it or not, it was worse when we moved in. At least the eight-foot-tall doghouse is gone.

YAY! You will be posting it when you do finish, right? :D

[akirad.livejournal.com]

They had an eight foot tall dog?

:)

[smeddley.livejournal.com]

No, two four-foot-tall dogs, hence the two stories... :p

OOOOH THAT LOOKS AWESOME! It looks fairylandish. There must be gmones and fairies in your garden right?! *stares happily*

[smeddley.livejournal.com]

You saw the mushroom picture (http://pics.livejournal.com/smeddley/pic/000bqet7), right? :D

[elaran.livejournal.com]

NO! OMG THERE ARE TOTALLY FAIRIES AND GNOMES THERE.

[smeddley.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, they move in after about 6 months of neglect. At 3 years of hands-off gardening, we're overrun!

O__o

[smeddley.livejournal.com]

You wanna come help me work on the yard, right? Right?

[toast-is-lovely.livejournal.com]

oh i wish my backyard looked like that

[smeddley.livejournal.com]

You can have it! I'm dreading trying to do anything with it. We keep walking out there, looking at it, shrugging, and walking back in...
