Horticultural Engineering

Ha! You thought I was makin' it up, didn't you? Here's the wildly anticipated horticultural blog post! Yeah, baby!

*cough*

Anyway, Sunday I explored a new outlet for my creative genius. I took ordinary plant life and molded it into art.



Another way to look at it is that I took existing landscaping and trimmed it up real nice. To you I say, Skeptic! Killjoy! Communist! Just because you're right doesn't mean I can't passionately defend myself.



The hedges aren't as straight as they were the first time I worked on them, but I had a certified master gardener helping. Don't act so impressed... it was my father-in-law. You didn't think I'd pay for a master gardener, did you?

The way I look at it, it was win-win. I got to play with a noisy power tool (my hedge trimmers). Plus, I didn't cut through the power cord while I was doing it. I came close once, though. :)

If you'll indulge me just a moment, let's go back at look at that first pic' again...



Have you been watching "Wipeout"? It's sophomoric, but even so that show makes me laugh until I cry. Check out this poor childless (from this point forward) contestant trying to cross the "Big Balls":



Say what you will, but it's a heck of lot more entertaining than Season 2 of "Heroes".
