My Patio....

My back yard patio..... is a place I rarely go....

it's open, fenced on the sides but not on the back....

it is only 10 x 17 and it's out of sight.... so the temptation is to put stuff back there and forget it...

and to make it worse.... junk blows in there from the neighbouring yards, sheets of plastics, mounds of leaves, and weeds grow like crazy....

my next door neighbour has been after me to tidy it up.... since THEIRS Is so lovely ! ( barf!! ) ......

so I finally took some time on Tuesday and started tidying up my patio.....
the weeds had grown up so thickly between the patio stones, that it looked like a lawn, not a patio....

I filled the garbage pail nearly to the top with weeds and junk...... and when I was done... the place looked half normal....

THERE... TAKE THAT neighbour!

the most embarrasing part of it was.... my son, seeing the newly weeded patio tiles, thought I'd just put the tiles down.... " These weren't here before were they dad??"

ummm, yeah taylor.... they were!! It's just that your dad doesn't WEED THE GARDEN very much!

sigh!
