Attack of the Shrubbery

A week ago or so, DH and DD were getting the wood rings ready that are on the front porch for the colder weather by tidying up and refilling the stacks of wood and kindling.  DD also cleaned off some of the chairs on the porch and found that a couple of the branches from our bushes had reached over and entwined themselves around part of the chair.  And thus, yesterday's Wordless Wednesday photo.

Here's the other entwined branch:

 

   

Here's a wide shot where you can see the bush reaching out to the chair:

   

  

I'm not exactly sure why the shrub wants the chair, but we gently de-tangled the branch and here's what it looked like (those are DD's little hands wearing her Spongebob Squarepants gardening gloves, so cute!):

   

It seems like the plants in the back of our house are trying to snag our table, maybe to go with the chair....?
I don't recall our landscaping ever offering us moving services...?

 

P.S.A.:

This is what happens when you don't prune your shrubs often enough.  

They become overgrown, unsightly and then 

try to steal your outdoor furniture!

Don't let it happen to you!
