All 16 are being trimmed - like severely trimmed. They took so many branches off the ones at the bottom of the driveway that they look like a different kinda tree now . . . got before pics but there's too much debris out there right now to get after.
The tree guy is recommending taking the three at the back of the driveway down so we can have better access to the upper backyard - I'm all for that! (DH would KILL me if he came home and there were 3 less trees in his yard . . . that happened last time and he didn't speak to me for months . . . .)
The riverbirch next to the house is coming down now and the more branches they take off the sunnier it gets . . . both on the parking pad AND the back patio . . . my passion flowers are already smiling . . . .
Yes those are hydrangeas - and they're already blooming. Behind the river birch is a gorgeous rhododendron that's just starting to bloom . . . it's one of my favorites . . . the reds in front are blooming and when the big fat flowers on the pink ones out front are out I'll take a pic . . . they are HUGE balls of flowers, almost as big as a soccer ball, never seen another rhodo with flowers that big . . . .
