Before shot ...

this will be gone .. the landscaper came by on Friday .. we have more ideas now .. instead of just nuking the whole thing .. still some good areas of St Augustine grass to keep .. but, the weeds have got to go .. went out this morning & hand pulled a lot .. seems like barely a dent was made .. ran out of energy .. tomorrow is another day .. good things will be kept .. like the Viburnum in the background .. a job .. oh, yeah .. © All Rights Reserved ^SOOC

Farewell Green Soul . . Day 3

The Cherry Laurel in the back yard, even though pruned and cared for, has been losing large branches .. it really needed to be planted with Oak companions instead of standing alone to fend for itself all these many years .. breezes, shade and filtered sun through your arms will be missed .. the Mourning Doves will miss visiting .. I will explain to them .. how can one get attatched to a tree ? just know that it saddens me that Cherry L is gone .. even though another tree will be planted, suitable for this area .. it will not replace your green footprints and those gentle, wispy, breezy hugs . .

Okay, we must decide... is this a moat? Is it a huge ant farm? Or - could it possibly be some subterranean creature digging in the yard? Day 4-5 continued ...

but, know it will be a quite harmless irrigation system - fun to imagine .. almost like figuring out cloud shapes ! ©SD All Rights Reserved SOOC #26 Project 52
