Monday Evening Open Thread: Backyard Work Edition

, , , , , , , , , , 0

Sorry for not posting yesterday, I’ve been too busy having a good time playing some community servers in TF2. Either way, today’s weather was really nice this evening. I decided to continue my yard work mission in our backyard with a red-handled screwdriver from our tool shed in the garage, and I used it to pull up a lot of unwanted weeds scattered in different locations from yesterday and today. Then I placed all the weeds into the compost pile used for gardening afterwards.

It sure was fun trying to pulling up weeds off the ground, especially crabgrass because those are really hard to get. Oh, and speaking of weeds, here’s a picture of another seeding dandelion that I found in our backyard next to the chain-like fence between our backyard and our neighbors’:

This seeding dandelion I found is two feet tall, and it has a lot of tiny parachute seeds that form a white good-sized puffball just like the previous one that I found almost three weeks ago:

Yep, I sure love those kind of weed flowers so much. 🙂

Have A Very, Very Tall Seeding Dandelion

I took a picture of some kind of weed flower a few days ago at about 1 o’ clock in the afternoon after getting all ready for that day. I found this extremely tall seeding dandelion that was located in our backyard next to a chain-like fence between our backyard and our neighbors’:

This dandelion is about three feet tall. It has a lot of tiny parachute seeds that form a good-sized white puffball that has a really nice smell to it:

That’s a few good reasons why I love these kind of flowers: Super tallness, large puffballs and their smell. 😀 But right now we’re trying to decimate as many dandelions and other tall weed flowers as possible by putting down some poisonous weed killer on them so they can droop little by little at a time and die. Oh, on another note our lawnmower men showed up earlier this morning and finally managed to mow down lots of tall weeds in our neighbors’ backyard after they finished mowing our lawn. At least they solved our weed problem because now we have less weeds to kill. 🙂

Wednesday Evening Open Thread: Garden Work Edition

, , , , , 0

I’ve been doing some yard work with Ivan_Fookinov this sunny but breezy evening. My object was to take the bucket full of old dirt from our garden and poor it all on the area next to the entrance of our backyard while Ivan’s shoveling dirt in one bucket at a time.

We even found an enormous weed growing in our garden but unfortunately I do not have a picture of it on my camera. So anyway, it didn’t take very long to get it done but it was an excellent workout. 🙂

Open thread!

Tree Fallin’

Once again, sorry for not posting anything because my Slackers site(s) have been disabled because of an infected malware attack. Either way, I heard a big boom coming from behind our house a few days ago. So I went out back with my camera and took a picture of the evidence:

It was a picture of a tree located in our next door neighbors’ backyard. The tree fell down on 2 to 3 properties and not only did it destroy a few metal fences, it also demolished part of our roof:

Man, I just can’t believe that happened. Hopefully the repair crew would fix the roof on time before the rain comes.
