"tear it down to bring in light and air" sounded good when it cleared slums.
I spent the morning in Lois Dean's garden in Chevy Chase. It is full of plants and critters but the adjacent houses have been recently rebuild and their forested back yards have been raised to the ground. So what was a very shady area is now open grassland. Lois is madly striking cuttings from her trees to plant around her periphery.
We had dinner with Andrea and Richard Ackerman who are off to Switzerland tomorrow. We were lucky to catch them. They have been beset by illness but are currently well. Richard had successful immunotherapy for melanoma. Which makes us doubly lucky.
