New large rhodie, japanese maples!

Big day! Scott was here and:
- built up the bed along the west fence and planted the new large rhodie. Cost $75, and it's big - about 6' tall - but anemic. Hopeful that in time it will look as happy as the back rhodie we put in last year looks. This rhodie is placed so that from the hammock, you can't see the Croy's bedroom window anymore. Little bit more private.
- adjusted the hellebores and evergreen huckleberry that are in this bed near the new rhodie
- removed and took with him the little henry sweetspire. I didn't like it in that spot and don't have another home for it. That is one seriously water-hungry plant, so it went.

- planted the two new Japanese maples! One is an Emporer I and the other is an Osakazuki.
- built out the bed around the back patio for a better curve and room for the japanese maples to breathe

- refreshed the cedar play chips. That looks SO MUCH BETTER. Smells good too.
