So Smooshdumplings and I finally went out and hacked up the rose branches that were strewn all over our yard, putting them in a nice neat pile. Why not put them in the greenwaste can and get rid of them? Because there were so many of them that we could only fit about a third of them in the greenwaste can! That rose bush really needed to be taken down a peg or two. It was having some serious delusions of grandeur. We need to wait until Tuesday when the parents-in-law come with the long handled clippers to get the last little bit. One of the most gung-ho branches wound its way under a roof tile and continued growing. I'm not entirely sure we can get it out without actually damaging our roof. Damn rose.
