I've dropped the ball again, I fear...and I'm not sure what my defense is this time...but there have been some developments in the TTG this past year.
Most notable from the sidewalk is that the noisome Japanese Maple tree is completely gone; quickly removed by some folks who knew exactly what to do. I was so glad to see that tree go...it wasn't a dwarf, you see, and kept growing and growing into the power lines and had to constantly be chopped, and then we ended up with a nest of hornets on a low limb near the sidewalk and I was concerned about that too, etc. Well, whew, all gone. And the tree-demolition guys also did a good job pruning the Chinese dogwood; also much too large a tree for the space. [Note that the developer selected both of these trees, and I had specifically asked for a "dwarf" maple...]
Now we have a swath of soil where the Japanese Maple and its upper roots had been...and we also have the new large-sized recycling and garbage "totes" that have been recently proscribed for the denizens of Watertown. Because of our steep driveway, and no paved flat area on the side, our new tote wheelies are on the side of the house, with grass to traverse before they can reach the street; not ideal.
