July 19
Remember my beautiful Rose of Sharon “fence”?
Well, over the last month, something freaky-deeky has happened to them.
So last Thursday…very early before the bee’s began buzzing, I went out and trimmed this first bush so that people walking down the sidewalk wouldn’t get attacked by my lovely bushs.
I just cut about a foot off of each limb, and voila….bush is back.
So I asked Superman to do the rest, because …..bees! they scare me.
He butchered my ‘fence’.
Butchered.
Superman….he is there right now.
.
Awww, i love your sharons. When they bloom here, I think of you.

I had already pruned them back at the proper time, but the way they were droopy, they were in the neighbor lady’s air conditioner.
I showed him how I wanted it done, I even told him “no more than a foot off the limbs”, but he took 6-7 feet off of many of them.

He did his best. Maybe he was tired.

So sad! They WERE beautiful. Now – not so much.

Which is why I prefer actual fences. That said I want to use Colorado Blue Spruce trees as a natural barrier between one neighbor and us.
Love that clip. My hubby has been really good about getting me gifts. He has only bought me gadgets/appliances/tools for a special gift if I have actually said that I specifically asked for it and given him all the details of it.
I’m probably one of the few women I know who really doesn’t want her hubby to buy her lots of bling – a new handgun would be so much better!
