We have some pretty amazing neighbors. Not only did they help paint our house last summer (in the rush to beat the rainy season), but last night Kyle and I came home to this:
True, it may be just the same ol’ mulch we’ve been rocking for the last few years…but you should have seen what it looked like two days ago (hint: weed haven). With all the work happening inside, it’s easy to forget about the yard and we are oh so grateful that our neighbors understand this and are sympathetic to our cause. So, Kyle and I took the evening off to celebrate the (almost) end of the week by walking over to Delancey for dinner. The food was, as usual, amazing and the honey pots de creme were heavenly. A wonderful way to end an (unusually warm!) evening indeed.
Happy weekend!
Glad you know that your neighbors are well-intentioned. My weak-self would probably get offended if I came home to that situation…but that’s just me being messed up.
But on a similar note, my husband and I have thought about doing some vigilante tree/shrub trimming. When we are out walking our dog, there are several places where we’ve nearly get our eyes poked out!
Well, we did feel a little guilty…but we know that it’s a short term thing and that (hopefully) we’ll have real landscaping soon! I hear you on the vigilante efforts…I have been smacked in the face by a few branches when I wasn’t paying enough attention!
