It was a good workout. The French Lilacs that are on the north side of our front door are enjoyed in the early spring. They usually bloom before we need to have the air conditioning on, and their fragrance floats through the home via open windows.
Over the last ten years the bushes had become a bit willy from trimming them back. One branch gets cut off and three branches sprout from the trim. By the time Dennis got home from morning rounds, the two French Lilacs were trimmed down to two six-inch mounds of “wannabes.”
With all the rains that we have had I was not worried about taking them down that far. That’s what gardening is all about . . . wait and see.
