There was a break in the weather this week so I thought I should go out and make myself useful. I attacked a small section of Flesh Shredder brambles (I borrowed the name from Bent and Rusty because I liked it so much). As I daintily picked my way through the vicious out for blood brambles, I came upon something which was not very much of a surprise. I found two more balls. Seriously, I think this was a home for orphan balls at one time. I know we are way over the 100 ball mark. Maybe instead of a how many toys does a kid need post I should have had a how many balls does a kid need?
Anyways, I still have lots more to do. Don’t you just want to dive into this prickly mess for me?


I have a softball sitting in my back yard, it was dug out from under our back bushes during all the snows this winter. I have found lots of balls on our property, too, but not nearly as many as you guys!

One of my neighbors once told me that they thought one of the previous tenants did some sort of coaching. But I’m not sure because we have heard a lot of varying stories. When we were cleaning out the toy mess we would find doubles and triples (or sometimes even more) of the same toy.
It little piece of land south of my property and between it and the field that surround us us a bramble heaven. I know what you mean!!!
Ha! Somehow I missed this post. You definitely have some brambles! I hope I can keep mine tame with the mower this year. Letting it all go to nature resulted in it all going to brambles. aka Flesh Shredder.
