Friday Show and Tell - Bad

| | Comments (12)
Blackbird's Friday Show and Tell is to show something bad. That's it. Just something bad. So here is my version of bad.

These are my bad-ass hollyhocks. Towering today at just over eight feet tall. They have made the path out to the gardens and koi pond a small jungle of stems, giant leaves and flowers.They are scattered in huge clumps and are blooming in shades of pink, red, yellow, purple, and orangey-peach.

This is a close up of those same bad-ass hollyhocks starting to bloom.

These are my bad-ass wild roses. They are climbing almost 15 feet. There is honey suckle in there too. The scent is very sweet and lightly perfumed in the late evening.

This is the bad-ass koi pond beginning to bloom. The lotus plant is nearing 4 foot in diameter.

This is my bad-ass 7 year old on her last day of school with her bad-ass long hair flowing in the breeze.

It is all very bad-ass in the best way. Gracie's hair is gorgeous! And the hollyhocks and pond, ditto. Any froggies in there? We have one lonely frog in our pond, and Josh constantly worries that he'll leave because he's not getting any action from a lady frog.

I don't think any of this stuff is bad. Your daughter's hair is beautiful! The flowers and gardens ponds... all beautiful. But in the picture of your daughter... what is that there behind her? It looks like a free standing chimney with a bucket of somesort on it. Now that can be bad. An open bucket of something or other out in the open? Hee hee.. Happy Friday :)

I think it's all very bad. Very bad indeed. So bad that you should not have that garden, you should give it to me.

oh wait, that cute little girl isn't bad at all!

god! those plants! I hate you...

Your bad to the bone, and your little one too!!!!OMG her hair-unfreakinbelievable!!

I can feel it, right here in Oregon: Angie is going into her attack mode. Watch out hollyhocks, watch out climbing roses! Here comes Miss Machete!!

I suspect Miss Longhair Sweetlips, Who is Seriously Overburdened, will be spared.

I am like the commenter above: What is that small brown edifice? (Maybe you better shoot it, just to be on the safe side...)

BAD, indeed. Very, very bad (I say that in the best way, with the best of intentions). Give those bad hollyhocks to me, Angie. I'll show 'em who's boss!

I guess your baby has never had a haircut; am I right? She looks sweet!

Lovely, lovely Angie! Nice to be back after some downtime with family! Love the sweetpotato recipes as well. I only hope my garden can grow as beautifully as yours! Blessings this weekend! Christie

Those Hollyhocks are bitchen. Mine are still just foliage, no flowers yet - but I'm waiting.

Man..I'm jealous of all your badass stuff! Hoss said somethin' about grits? Are they badass too??
My hollyhocks are pathetic this year. :(

I love that pond! You did such a great job- you don't need a landscaper ;-) Your daughter is such a beauty. I love, love, love the hair!!

liz said:

What's in the water where you are that makes everything grow so big and hair grow so long and makes everything and everybody so beautiful?

J&J's Mom said:

Will you be my friend ? Your garden..everything is to die for! And of course you best keep that girl under lock and key...gorgeous!!! LOVE her hair!
