Today we removed the last of the big overgrown rhododendrons in our yard. This one was in the front yard, the one remaining after we had several others removed. We had hoped that we might be able to cut it way back and have it sprout, but it was not to be. It's one of the type that will not regrow from a cut branch. So David got out our trusty little electric chain saw and cut it down. We are now totally open to the street, but it seems o.k. We will eventually plant some tall shrubs out there to fill in the space.
Here's the view from the front walk by the house. The rhododendron was on the far side of the dry stream, about in line with the small hazelnut tree along the fence.
This is the view from the driveway.
The weeding in the front yard is almost finished, just in time for our bark mulch to arrive next week.
Ah, and the last one is gone. Looks nice!!! Is it still raining there? We are still dodging rain drops. Enjoyed our visit!
