While the Gardener Is Away...

While the gardener is away, the kids will play.

What they were SUPPOSED to be doing was creating a bed edge using some chalky limestone pieces and digging a hole.

Instead, what I came home to find was this:

And no, I still don't have a garden bed edge or new hole dug.

TOO funny! Too bad you can't work that snaggletoothed funny face into a permanent garden fixture of some sort. (P.S. my condolences about the hardscape delays.)

Oh man! Sort of hilarious to see what kids do with cameras. But your little guy is a cutie-patootie even for a ghost! Love the pose. Well, there's always tomorrow and 80 more shots of film to go!

Who knew chunks of limestone could be so fun? :-)

Bwah hah hah Zombie Boy and friends had quite a bit of fun if you ask me. When I was young we did the weirdest things and took pictures too. Unfortunately, that was before the digital age. I am surprised my parents didn't kill us when I think of all the film we wasted LOL

hahaha!! i love it!! :)

Very funny. My kids would not have even gotten that far!

Can you keep that face like a garden art?

I thought about it, Tatyana, but it's not placed well for visibility. You pretty much have to stand over it to see it -- otherwise it just looks like a mess from the side. I might try to figure out something for it somewhere else in the yard, but it might take some additional artistic work just to make it happen!

Hi Meredith, You seem to be really good with photography...
I really liked the papyrus clump...i've been hoping to set up a water garden very soon..hope I get that kind of clump growing soon...

The kids obviously got their sense of fun and humor somewhere, right?

This post was very cute. Love that face. :)
