VDOT Damage

The lavender Rose of Sharon at the southeast corner of my property was lovely this morning and covered with blooms. This afternoon, not so much. Workers from the Virginia Department of Transportation saw fit to lop off hunks of it.

They didn't bother to clean up their mess—just left the branches lying where they fell.

Some of the branches were strewn several feet from the bush.

Other branches were just dropped.

They also mowed down some of the wildflowers near my mailbox.

They even hacked limbs off the peach tree behind the mailbox.

I confronted a VDOT worker when he returned from lunch and told him I didn't appreciate what they'd done. I also told him VDOT should clean up the mess they left. 

I'm not holding my breath.
