Ding-Dong: The Junipers are Dead!

So this is what my front yard looks like. After many years of sneezing and scratched up arms, I have finally had payback.

"Honey, what are we going to do with all these juniper branches?" You might think this is what my husband said after tunneling his way into the house. Unbelievably, he didn't even comment. In his defense, he is working through a bit of a stomach bug.

Another logical question might be, "Why have you hacked apart the only defining landscaping in your front yard?" And that is a question that can create some excitement. I am dreaming of south facing garden expansion. Imagine strawberry plants and bean trellises with marigolds all in a row. It makes more sense now, doesn't it?

Now, I must track down someone who will turn this fire hazard into wood chips this time of year...
