Extra large rhododendron, six people, lots of hand tools, and a tractor!
The ‘after’ pic doesn’t show quite how far the rhody’s moved, or the pit behind it. I’ll get another angle tomorrow. It’s 8-10 feet farther away from the house.
I’m reblogging this photoset because I AM STILL SO HAPPY ABOUT THIS! o/
DO YOU SEE how much more open it is by my front porch?!
Whoa, cool. That really opens up the front of the house. I look forward to getting to see it in person :)
Isn’t it great? It feels so much more welcoming, even just to myself coming home! We also took off 2/3 of the porch railings, so eventually there can be a path up from the street without squeezing past a car in the driveway. And it’s quite a bit lighter in the living room in the afternoons, now. Though I should probably be more careful than I used to be about walking around the living room in only a towel. The rhody did provide a certain inherent discretion. :P
(I want you to come down soonest, btw, but I’m not sure my to-do list agrees. It’s frustrating).
