Shrouded

"Help me, Help me, please"

Some houses actually cry out for a landscaping service. Sure, sometimes I let the front lawn get a bit ahead of me. And yes, I dislike pushing the lawnmower around doing the trim work. Also, there are weeks where I put off weed whacking around the flower beds. Guilty as charged! However, it has never gotten THIS ahead of me. I really hope this house is abandoned. That would at least partially explain why its crept to this state.  From the street, this is the only part of the house that is visible. There are lots of places in the city that really could use a good trimming of bushes and trees. Many beautiful homes are hidden away by unsightly blemishes like this.
From time to time, I have some trimming issues around the homestead.
But it has never gotten to this state.
I'd get my walking papers if it did.

  2. Our young and very able grandson is our friendly gardener. What a great kid he is but I don't think he'd like to tackle this job.

  4. Your trimming issues are the same as that one time you cut your own hair. Just saying....

  7. Who ever lives there only uses the back door, never sees the front, and doesn't care about what the neighbors think.

  8. In my West Hartford neighborhood, most people tend their yards very well, but there is a guy three houses away that lets his yard look like this. And he is a realtor!!!

  9. I think that some people don't realize that landscaping plants do get too big.

  10. I hear you. While the weeds have seemingly taken over the flower beds this summer my place doesn't look like that.
