Rod has an unexpected day off--he ended up working Thursday and not Friday as earlier planned. So, we had a day off together, which turned into a work day. It is too hot down here for a work day. But, since I maybe leaving for Illinois as early as Tuesday--we better do it while we can!
This Cherry Laurel should have died in the hurricanes of 2004, but, it sprouted new growth which was over 20 feet high. I envisioned it cut down completely, but, Rod likes that it blocks our view of the neighbors dead yard. So, the mission was to get it cut down to shrub size and hope it grows out.
It took up the whole driveway and part of the yard. We of course ran out of twine and had to clear a path to get the van out to head to the store. I said if we were "tacky people" we would just leave it like this:
It took about 15 bundles of 3-4 foot long lengths of branches, which will give us plenty to put out on yard waste Wednesday. That will make the trash removal guys happy, happy, happy. What was really nice was jumping in the pool after we were done. The water is still at the refreshing stage, which makes it perfect!
