Starting to look nice but I still miss the big old pine.	I hope that eventually some of the plants will cover up the faucet and the electric meter.	The house is no longer protected from the western sun.
That's a redbud on the left and a Japanese red maple on the right.	I hope that the gas meter will also be covered up by plants. Eventually.	There's supposed to be another redbud on this corner. We will have to think about that.
It's going to be a chore to push the lawn mower up that slope.	It's late in the year (early October) so I hope the grass takes.	Barbara worries that the red maple looks driec out.
Got to remember to tell the landscaper to get the mulch away from the shakes.	I have no idea what these plants are called.	The redbud will hide the big expane of bare wall.
