Backstop Cleanup

We went in with lopers chopping, hacking away at the unrepentant rosemary outbreak on the hillside behind the blue spruce, and revealed a heretofore unseen staircase on the right-side, and freed the little redbud tree (Cercis occidentalis) and a small spring-steel manzanita from the choking-fragrant green overgrowth. Some people don’t seem to realize that “green” is not universally recognized as a peaceful state in nature, but that it has as much destructive and totalitarian impulse as the worst savage leftist or ignorant asphaltbilly city-dweller. And besides, if I have to shoot in that direction I want to see sparks!
