a married man must worry about landscaping


i never really thought i'd spend more than 5 minutes worrying about landscaping. who cares about plants? certainly not me. i guess my age is catching up with me, because i seem to be spending more and more of my days worrying about stupid shrubs.

our latest problem involves the neighbors who hate us and our home owner's association. you see you are only allowed to have a certain height of plants leading up to the street. why? i honestly have no idea. the previous owner planted a bunch of stuff that was clearly too tall and never had any problems. our neighbor, however, loves to call the hoa and complain. and complain. and complain. we finally got our gardener to remove all the plants, and wouldn't you know, but our neighbor complained about removing them. you can't win sometimes.

we've worked out a new design that uses grass in place of the rocks. it's gonna be awesome. here's a before and after of the plant mayhem. the new plantings should take a few weeks, and hopefully we can finally get some peace from our never pleased neighbor.
