our yard isn't exactly looking its best at the momentthis is officially my 100th post since i started this blog--yay me! two of them are still in the draft stage, but the other 98 have been published. i'm having fun with it so that gives it value in and of itself. it is nice to go through the posts and see pictures of the kiddos (if nothing else).
the borer guys (a.k.a. the mole men) are finished. we now have a subterranean tunnel that will soon accomodate city-of-albuquerque-approved pipe. and they did bore directly under our biggest cottonwood, which will hopefully survive. now i play host to a collection of plumbers, EPA suits and a city representative or two. collateral damage tally for day two: yard, back gate, two pyrocantha bushes, one fruiting grapevine, and our decorative rocks that have now been painted safety orange. and the sprinkler system still hasn't been fixed...
on a much happier note, my birthday is a palindrome this year! 7-11-7--how cool is that?
ugly pit in our corral--there was a grapevine nearby that is now part of the collateral damage list
damian, the lead mole man
broken gate and destroyed pyrocantha bushes (not pictured--this is too depressing!)
1-how much land do you have 2-you should fix all those problems 3-happy 100th post
ReplyDeletewe only have about 3/4 of an acre, but it is OUR 3/4 of an acre and we are surprisingly protective of it! some of the damage i'm sure i will fix myself but the sprinkler system at least should be fixed by the mole men or the plumbers that come through and finish the job, no?
