We have a bamboo forest growing in our back yard. When we purchased this house last summer, a member of our church who lives in our neighborhood said with a bit of sarcasm "Hope ya' like bamboo" Another kind neighbor had this to offer "The previous owners would have to rent a trailer each spring to hall out the extra unwanted bamboo-good luck!"
It's basically a weed that wants to take over the yard if not kept in check. But it provides shade and privacy and reminds us of our Asian stay 2 years ago. We likey! Of coarse we haven't been dealing with it for too long. It's the season for new sprouts to start coming up. They look like this
Tonight there was a bit of an issue at our back yard BBQ which I will show you with a photo...
Try as he might, Middle Boy couldn't seem to get ball number one out of the tree. And so we ended up with ball number two....
.....and then ball number three out of reach.
But with a little help from the ol bamboo, we managed to retrieve all 3 balls. Until next time.
