Long Day Wednesday

Got up at 6 AM and we left at 7 AM. I set the odometer and it's 89.9 miles from my house to the temple, one way. We had a nice day.

You know the two large shrubs at the south corners of our house? They're gone now. Lance Sims, the son of the man who cuts our lawn, cut them back for us. They are totally denuded and you can see the house at those corners. I believe they will grow back, slowly, but they won't ever get that big again. They are arborvitaes, if that means anything to anyone. The outside birds loved to roost in them and I miss the noise they would make at dusk as they were settling down for a good night's rest, but the shrub/trees were really overtaking the house. Little did we know years ago when we planted them there that they were going to be monsters! They were given to us as a favor for loaning our bee honey extractor out. We've had quite a relationship with those arborvitaes.
