There is an area of my yard that we avoid like the plague... its on the East side of the house, not a small area but not a large area.

i tend to have these grand idea's what to do with it and every year...it sits...

and sits

and sits...

until....its fall and we decide to clear it out....cut down the crap that has decided to grow....spray the area with a chemical that is SUPPOSSED to kill anything that grows and just leave it be.

funny thing is...

there is a rose bush that will not die. I have split it, down to the root and given it away, year after year. I've burned the area. I've chopped it up. But every spring...it still manages to pop out of nowhere..and give birth to roses....

they are pretty and they make me wonder if maybe...just maybe I need to let them be and work around them.

we shall see.
