Shrubery

We have some pretty intense bushes/shrubs/hedges in the front of our house. We call them our security shrubs - they have these nasty thorns on them that (I like to think) will keep intruders from trying to break in our windows. WAY cheaper than a security system. And probably just as effective....right? Anyway, they've been growing like cra-cra this summer. The hubs had a day off (finally!) last weekend and decided to tackle the shrubs.

Here he is in all of his shrub-trimming glory.

See? Out of control, right? Yeesh!

Half-way done. My husband is on the fairer-skinned side, but he's not nearly as pale as this picture implies. He just fully in the sun while the shrub was fully in the shade.


Ta-Da!

We have the same shrub on the other side of the front door in front of the living room windows. That clever husband of mine made a little cut out in the shrub so we can open the windows more than two inches. He's a thinker. That's why I love him.
