I went to bed around 9:30 and was wide awake at 11 pm.
I was concerned about a problem created by the gardeners. Mike asked to have plants providing a privacy screen planted at the edge of a supporting rock wall to block B’s view of Yvette’s ohana and block Yvette’s view of B’s area. The man is a hoarder and a slob. How many cars and trucks, along with his boat, are parked down there? There is stuff all over the place. It’s not a pretty sight. Rodney planted Ficus trees.
Judy had a problem with her Ficus tree. When I saw it, I was shocked. It grew to forty or fifty feet, with a thick trunk and roots. Those roots would take out my rock wall as the trees grew to full height. Rodney said Mike wanted a tree that provided privacy. How can a tree that grows to that height provide long-term privacy? I don’t know what he was thinking. Then, recently, he had his men chop off the low branches, removing whatever privacy the trees did provide. I am going to have to have the trees removed. It will cost a pretty penny. Then, I will plant bushes appropriate for that space.
I have been doing some gardening every day. I schedule a section for each day of the week. I don’t always stick to it, but it helps to remind me. Today, I chain-sawed a leggy shrub in a yard off the bedroom. I have one of those cute ones with a four-inch blade. Just the right size for me. It is much easier to use than a pruning tool. I always wear goggles when I use it.
