Not only did my parents' neighbors make them cut down a 20 year old pine tree (if it exceeds the measurements, but no-one says anything for 5 years or more, it is "acceptable"). Now their gardener stole some ornamental rocks from our garden when remodeling theirs.
what the heck??? give me that flippin' facade ornament.

It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

Well, I'm kinda pissed that the new owners pulled down a grand (but sadly neglected) old apple tree in that yard. The new owners want to build 3 new units there (well, we'll see about that!). This maple, however, is just a wild seedling that got left unweeded too long because the former owners were too sick to keep up the garden and too recluse to ask for help. It's even a danger to their foundations, so it's gotta go. But yeah, trees can be a sore point amongst neighbors. We'll try to keep things friendly. I haven't made any legal moves to demand that the tree be taken out, just asked politely and iformally if they could do it as a favour while they're remodelling the whole place. As for stealing ornamentals ... I wonder if the cracked toilet they've left standing out there the past 3 months is considered ornamental, or if I can chuck in the next dumpster I see parked nearby?

Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.
