The apple tree is gone. It was a sad time because David's father bought it for us when we moved into this house. The "construction" in the back corner by the garage has been mostly dismantled. Two of the cedar planter boxes are now on the patio, complete with coleus and ivy. The fourth one was left in place, and the third one garbage. This leaves us with a huge hole to fill in. We've ordered top soil, and plan to plant peas there. The side garden will be dug out and the soil replaced, bit by bit, as the gardener is able to get to it. The bushes at the front of the house, both the roses and the decorative ones, were very badly winter killed, and all of the dead wood has been cut out. Between that and the apple tree, we have a huge pile to be cut to size, bundled up and put out with the garbage next week. The larger pieces of wood from the apple tree will be given to the boys across the back for their fire pit--which is replacing the sandbox that teenagers have no further use for.
Whe-e-ew! Tonight is the night for strong drink.
