i think it’s a good statement on the juxtaposition of man against nature.
and also? whenever i need to defend something i did in a slackerly half-assed way, i use words like juxtaposition and try to pass it off as art and stuff.

We have something like that in our drainage ditch next to the road. Does Rock Salt kill those weeds? BEcause if it does, I’m all over it. Send Domestic Extraordinaire’s husband over with it, would you please?
I’m assuming BH is Bossy’s Husband?? Has he finished the job and now needs a big round of applause?? Cause I’m married to a wonderful man who has about five acres of clover to attend to, a job that has mysteriously stalled, who probably WOULD finish if only he KNEW that half the western world was ready to APPLAUD. Cause he’s a male. And they love applause!!! I am ready to clap…

Considering Bossy’s self-reported record on finishing weekend task lists, I would wager the Bossy household dresses in the basement due to all the glass walls.
If it’s any consolation it took 2 trips to the home improvement store, a LOT of cussing and about 4 hours to hang one effing light over the kitchen table here.
At this rate, we’ll be done (and divorced) by 2016
My husband and Bossy’s husband may have been separated at birth. You have inspired me to take a picture of my side yard (after he recovers from my post about his love of publicly displayed trash cans) so everyone can see my weeds too.
Yeah, my gardener (why happens to be me) is fighting a losing battle with the weeds in our back lane. And it’s the little ones with the big roots that kill me.
I have to say, I’m with Bossy’s husband here. ‘Cause that there are some crazy weeds!
bwahahaha… I have that EXACT same problem!!
Hey now!
I think this photo deserves an UPDATE!!!

we have something similar on the side of our driveway. My hubby says, we can kill it with rock salt. I say, so go buy the darn rock salt already.
Which one of Bossy’s husbands said that?
I have this stuff in a squirt bottle that eliminates weeds at the press of a button.
Is my husband YOUR husband too??
From the looks of the finished project, ‘finish why?’ is the question?
Looks the same either way, quack grass or rocks…
I’m going to quote Patrick from SpongeBob SquarePants
“It’s like my mom always said: ‘if you can’t say something nice about someone, don’t blow your nose into you hand’”
Good thing Bossy has lots of backup husbands.

Well, at least half of it looks lovely.
Time for the Roundup?
I laughed HARD at Jason’s comment!

Should we all just pay for lawn service and give up?
What? It looks fine to me.
What Mr. Farty said. Truly looks better than my drive. Give BH some props!

damn, girl, you know how to grow some weeds. That looks like my backyard, minus the rocks.
You’re sure he didn’t say “Finish what?!”

Best weedkiller money can buy and non-toxic: vinegar and lemon juice (I suggest Costco!).

While there is definitely such a thing as a bad husband, I can honestly say I’ve never met a good weeding project.
If you hire a lawn service, make sure it isnt trugreen! it only took them $1600 and 3 months to ruin my lawn. Bravo you morons good work
Boys!
Weeding is for people who don’t have serious weekend plans involving naps and wine.
The big weeds like that are the easy ones. It’s the little butty ones that are hard work. The big ones look most impressive when you’re done though.
Well done for sticking at it BH!
Weeds? We call that expensive ground cover.
Bossy’s husband sounds a lot like ME.
Also, this is the exact moment when I am like, Roundup, WHERE?
KEEP BELIEVING

I totally misread this (SEVERAL times) as “good WEDDING projects” LOL!
