For some reason or another(it was eons ago so I have no idea) I bought Bostons Ferns for the front of the house.
I wasn't sure it would suit them as they prefer moist, humid conditions......
.......well guess what.....they are huge & about attack you!
Even I have to duck when walking under them!
I think I mentioned in a previous post about this being a banner year for acorns.....in fact as I sit at my computer writing this they are "bombing" my roof. I went outside last week to rake some of them up as the lawn mower doesn't particularly like them. My "warm & fuzzy" neighbor came out with his blower & was working in his yard at the same time. Not a word was spoken until Popster came home & the next thing we hear is this tirade that went something like "I'm so &*%^$* sick of &^%$#@ cleaning up these (*&%#%#$ acorns from your ^%$#*&^ trees. When are you going to do the neighborly thing & get rid of them?" My answer: "The trees were here before you"
One of the things that attracted us to this neighborhood was the fact it has such beautiful tree lined streets. Our property has a lot of mature trees that I love. We have cut quite few since we've lived here & I get very upset every time. Sure it's a lot of work in the fall but I still think it's worth it. We have trimmed the branches that were overhanging his house but I refuse to ruin perfectly good trees because a few acorns fall on his property. Like I said the trees were there when he moved in!
He needs to get a life or I need to put on my best Dr Dolittle & tell those lazy squirrels & chipmunks to quit teasing Molly & start picking up their share of the acorns
Love

Mieserable old G*t. One good thing, the only good thing about living here, is none of my neighbours speak to me, they can't I don't speak Spanish. Perhaps you should pretend to be even more foreign from now on!
