We're the same here Glenn and Sammy. My wife's butterfly bushes used to reach above the rim of the roof.
She wanted me to take a picture of her bird house with its new afro before dark. IT's still hanging with another 5" on it. We're checking it every so often to see how long it lasts.....
By the way, that birdhouse is about 15" tall.
The swing set at the lower right corner now has a VERY large branch from that maple tree lying over it. Photo was taken at 5pm.
