Behind my house, there is a wetlands area. Before the wetlands, there is a big chunk of
HOA property that has a playground (we affectionately call it the plague-ground because the prairie dogs were practically under it when we moved in), and a half-hearted attempt at a volleyball court.

Right now, the only purposes it serves are a
vampire larvae mosquito nesting ground after a few days of rain, and a catch-all for every weed species you can imagine. Since the National Seed Lab is only six miles away, I feel having all this weed selection, a mere stone's throw from our lawn is redundant.
But two intrepid gentlemen have figured out how to get the most out of their
HOA dues.
What They Made:
Behold: the tightrope walkers.


Isn't this the coolest thing you have ever seen? They're very nice guys and more often than not, they end up teaching a few tight rope lessons to the neighborhood kids.
I decided not to post their names because I fear the
HOA would disapprove and I sort of like having the Greatest Show On Earth in my backyard.
Plus, it gives the
vampire larvae mosquitoes variety.
