Vince has been out working in the yard. I knew he was trimming the shrubs on the side of the house. I haven’t gone to look at those. I’m afraid to see what he’s done.
There are/were shrubs on the front just beyond the dining room window.
They needed a bit of trimming. They are getting kinda scraggly. The photo is the front but the back side looked the same.
I went out just a few minutes ago and this is what they now look like.
I told myself . . “What’s done is done. Don’t say anything!” My expression must have given away what I was thinking. I said “Vince! I do not want to sit at the dining room table and look out and see all that dead wood.” He said “I’ll spray paint it green!”
I think the better idea is dig them up and plant something else . . something that will not need to be trimmed.
Remind me to never ask Vince to trim my hair.

Have no fear, they will grow back and be green in a short time. We do this several times a year.

Uh, just what shape was he aiming for again?

It will not take it long to get green again. Then he can start trimming them the way you want them.
