Good news

I hope not bad news

My neighbor just informed me he's taking down a huge tree on his property which has shaded my yard and garden on the East side of my house. It doesn't totally shade it all day, just the early morning sun from the East. Once the sun moves through the day, that part of my garden gets sun from the South for most of the day.

He told me a while ago he was thinking of doing this, but I didn't think he would actually do it this summer especially now that things are heating up. If it were early spring, I wouldn't have any concerns since plants would have time to adjust, but I'm not sure about now. From my description, do you think I'll see much impact - stuff wilting, stuff frying?

I've really hated this tree (a Boxelder) because my phone lines and power lines go right through the branches and have come down a couple of time during wind storms. And being a Boxelder, it's basically a weed tree anyway - kind of ugly.
