Tiberius

Dave....has done some work on our front yard. It's looking nice. Most of our front yard is grass/trees and perennials. Low maintenance...lovely for our current lifestyle. Our backyard is almost bare other than grass. The previous owners and the original owners in the amazing 7 year history of my home....did NOTHING with the backyard. Our neighbors have nice brick patios and decks, play sets and small manicured gardens.....WE have a cement block stepping down from our screen door. We LIVE AND BREATH Class....Claaaaaassy!

To add to the sexiness of our backyard, we have no flower beds, no landscaping at all. Honestly we are dragging our feet a bit because we would like to put in a brick patio and a few raised flower beds, maybe I can grow a vegetable or two back there...but not this summer. But maybe next year we can make it a project? Who knows. Anyway our backyard is crazy bare. Except for this very special friend of mine:

I've named him Tiberius. I really like the name Tiberius but I'm teetering on whether to use it for a child. Dave says I should not have named the weed Tiberius....but heck does his opinion actually count? Nooooo silly....Plus as he kindly pointed out we've got enough names for at least 293874 future children...I'm sure we can find another name besides Tiberius which most people would reference with Star Trek and not Tiberius the Roman Emperor.

Regardless. This is my friend Tiberius, we aren't really BFF's but we are rather close. Mostly because that window leads into my family room and my couch is on the other side of that wall...so technically we hang out a lot. I told Dave he wasn't allowed to trim my weed down. I mean soon this weed will be physically climbing into my family room, strangling my cats and hanging out in my kitchen. It's almost like family......almost.

Maybe I'll feed it some Miracle Gro and see if it kills it or turns it into a massive beast worthy of being chainsawed down.
