Ahhh, That Felt Good.

My owner came by last Sunday. He trimmed some privet shrubs, lopped a few branches from trees, and cut the grass.

He loves the periodic need to trim down the privets... they're such an easy plant to shape and yet such an easy plant to let go, to allow to become unsightly, straggly and unkempt.

The hemlocks are such graceful conifers, with tiny little needles an soft foliage... but they can take over the scene in few short years. Where did they all come from? Did he really plant all those trees?

Ahhh, that feels much better - like a summer haircut. Now I can see further around me during the day, see more of the bamboo that shades the far side of the yard, and see that nice little house next door with the Victorian shades of green.
