KUDOS TO BAMBOO

    Hurricane Irene has now past Virginia leaving us here on Hawthorne Avenue relatively unscathed but for lost electricity and some downed limbs.  I find myself in the position of offering KUDOS to the bamboo (something I did not anticipate since we just spent time, effort, and money preventing it from taking over our yard). 
    A mammoth  tree came down in our neighbor's yard during the winds of Irene.  The bamboo prevented thousands of pounds of tree from destroying our new brick wall.

The fallen tree has caused no damage to us thus far.  It will, however, certainly prevent the fence folks from beginning  construction today.
