what's around the corner...

Since we planted the 2 midnight salsa hydrangea plants (left side of photo) I am enjoying this part of the garden... 

but, these guys... 

right over there with the jackhammer...

are giving me a headache!

Rick found out the scoop on that sidewalk "graffiti" from the other day -- something to do with the drainage pipes under the street.  They can't repave the streets until they fix this.

I'm off to find some earplugs...
