Prepping

The boundaries are marked,

the super-size bin is in place,

and tool man is raring to go. 

The work was supposed to kick off today but the contractor’s truck broke down, so we’re on hold for tomorrow. 

And while we waited, we decided this tree also needs to go. I love the magnolia’s blossoms but it has definitely overgrown it’s space.

The only plant that’s staying is the hibiscus where the hummingbirds nest. And the entwined morning-glory-vine-from-h*ell. 

The neighbors planted it years and years ago and it immediately tried to take over the entire neighborhood, growing over fences, sheds and to the very top of every tree. It’s pretty but, man oh man, is it a PITA. 

It’s corralled for now in this one spot, but I’m still not turning my back on it. Stand still too long and hellooooooo, you’re now entwined in the vine.
