post haste tree departure

When we moved into our house

there were two ugly trees in front of the living room windows.

Those trees haven't gotten any prettier

so we decided that enough was enough

and they were coming down.

Before:

 ghastly, unruly things.

I mean, really. Look at them!

ugly from every angle.

 

I don't think the cats were in full support of this decision

but we knew it was the right thing to do.

Here's the After:

Admittedly, it looks a little bare there now

but we'll get something else planted to "spruce" it up a little.

I felt totally relieved once they were gone.

I really hated those trees.

(The kill)

 

I'm thinking maybe one of these:

It's a flowering almond shrub.

The blossoms are glorious.

We'll see.

As I keep saying,

it's all an experiment!
