It’s not that I don’t have a green thumb.
It’s that I just don’t care.
The problem is that I have neighbors who not only care, they really really care. As much as I’ve wished on shooting stars that they’d get a new hobby, like collecting rare Hummel figurines or extreme couponing, nothing has broken their stride.
And their stride is making my yard look even worse than usual by comparison.
Let’s hope that my neighbors have a sense of humor and read my blog, because I wrote them a letter over on InThePowderRoom. Won’t you come take a looksie?
I hope to see you over there & promise to reply to every comment. As always.
And while you’re there…
Check out the COLORFUL AGATE NECKLACE and SWAROVSKI SPARKLE EARRINGS. Yep, that’s me modeling all of it in the WeShop store!
MULCH! Bawahahahahahaha!

Seriously. That sound is burned into my brain forever.
I am laughing so hard right now. I have a different problem with my neighbors, in that their hobby is knowing ALL the gossip on the street and what everyone is doing. Now, don’t get me wrong, I like my neighbors and think they are all nice, but all my neighbors are besties and we are sort of like the outcasts in the sense that we have other friends and don’t hang that much.
Last week my husbands friend stopped over to say hi. He is a police officer in our neighborhood and parked his cruiser in front of our house. I told my husband that we were going to start rounds of gossip on the street and we placed bets on which neighbor was going to be first to ask why the police was at our house. Well, just ran into one, and first thing she asked was about the police car and told me that their were rounds of street gossip wondering why he was there.
Seriously…I have no idea what my neighbors are doing at 8 pm b/c the second my kids are in bed I am on the computer, reading or watching E!
We have some neighbors like that. I never have any clue about any of the ‘hood gossip. How do these people have the time to be that interested in everything all the time??
#1 hello visual treat!, #2 of course, and #4 obviously. #’s 3 and 5 Eww, but I can see your point. My hubby has the green thumb in our family. He wants to “teach” me, but I hide under a pile of laundry that I threaten him with if I have to do the gardening.

My husband keeps buying things he expects me to keep alive. You’d think he’d pick up on the pattern of neglect after 12 years of this.
2 years ago, we got a giant composter so that I could start a garden. Today – giant composter in mostly dead yard. Garden? Not happening.

But you look really gardenery, which I think earns you some points.

It’s even worse than the word “moist.”
Yeah, I tried to keep up with the Jones’ once, all it got me was a killer back ache! I ripped up lily’s to replace them. I left one on the corner of the yard because it looked good I turned my back and my lab was ripping it up:/ I gave up and left the mess for my dear hubster to clean up.

Ha ha! We just moved in to a foreclosure in May and our house and yard looks like the dump of the block. Its so sad. I actually can’t wait to get out and garden next spring…but as of now, I’ll just look at it and scowl at anyone who gives me the evil eye!
