Burn Baby Burn


I think it's projects like that makes Michael spends so much time away from home. The hedges between our house and the neighbor's were infested with aphids. I sprayed them with the mean stuff but there were just so many of them that it really didn't make much difference. The aphids had migrated to my new shrubs and it was a losing battle to keep them out of the new ones when we had an aphid farm 20 feet away. Then my neighbor informed me that the prior resident was constantly spraying the hedge trying to get rid of the aphids but never could get them under control. That settles it. The hedge must come down. There were fifteen separate bushes at approximately 10 foot tall. We cut them down and burned all of them. Michael sure knows how to get a fire burning hot enough to burn green wood down to ashes in a short time. Now, what are you gonna do about the stumps?

There's got to be some war out there that needs a slow target.
