Lixy---The woman,that I was referring to, has to be(without exaggeration)in her '80s.The bushes were there,when we bought
our place & we have been here(approx)27 yrs.The bushes,are(approx)8/10 ft. tall & who knows how many times that they have been cut back.She & her husband,used to do all of the yard
work.He died,a few yrs. ago,& now she(stubbornly)tries to do everything herself.Yesterday,while cutting my grass,I saw her using a Riding mower & hand mower on her place.Older people
(myself included)had a different work ethic.Now most people,think
that Manual Labor,is someone of Spanish decent! Irish
