Thankfully, there goes my lovely view of that truck . . . Continuing around the yard . . . Philomena the Philodendron seems to have survived all the traffic . . . . . . she's back in the shade she's lived in for years, with some reflection from the fence. Once we begin the regular watering schedule again, with fertilizer, she will send out new leaves to get back to her former glory. (The black stakes with the blue doggie poop bags were there to keep anyone from walking right thru her, so those will come down when all is done & dusted.) THIS is going to be a problem for the neighbor who leaves his dog in the yard . . . To the right of this fencing are the bushes (the catbird lives there, I think); to the right of the bushes is the EASEMENT, and to the right of that is the other neighbor's white vinyl fence, installed about three years ago. The original fence covered that area, for some reason, but we aren't doing so, as we are staying on the lot line. This means there is an open area where our fence does a 90-degree turn, which the neighbor with the dog will have to close off if he doesn't want Zoey to run away. (Yes, I knew the dog's name years before I knew his.) You can see the gap in this photo . . . The fence ends here . . . There are to be installed two sections of fencing here to hide the aire conditioning unit . . . . . . replacing the rotting wooden trellis there originally. This is the view from the laundry room window.
