More new life sprouting and blooming. But across the street workmen are cutting down two majestic and magnificent alanthus trees, otherwise known as tree of heaven. Can you see the man high up in the tree? Most of this tree had already been cut down before I took the picture of the workman in the tree. The picture at the top shows the "progress" that had been made by 4:30 in the afternoon.
When I asked why they were cutting down these wonderful trees, they said, "Orders." The orders came from the woman who owns a rental agency. Since the renters allowed the trees to reproduce too thickly, she ordered that the two parent trees be cut down as well as all the baby trees. The trees were not sick; they were so healthy they were reproducing like, well, like alanthus trees! It just makes me ill. The next thing on the agenda is to spread herbicides all over the large property!
Alas, we can now see the half-underground house owned by the rednecks, who have been foreclosed on, after losing out to the yuppies in court. And, we'll have more sunshine, since the trees were directly east of us.

The only good Alanthus is one that is being fed into the woodchipper... Addition by subtraction... Awful, smelly weed trees are they.
