So what was today's plan? Bring the brush I cut and piled all week to the dump, plant the garden and relax for the afternoon. Then we were going to go bike riding at the reservoir tomorrow. That did not happen.
Yesterday I had the mosquito commission out because it's unbearable here. You can't walk in the grass without getting attacked. We have these Asian Tiger mosquitoes and goddamn they are brutal.
Well, the old man next door, remember Mr. Giggles? Well his tree is over hanging into my yard so much we can't do shit with the garden. It's killed all the sun out of there.
I sent Matt over to cut the limbs. It turned into a giant project of tearing down the jungle. We have two piles taller than me out front that have to be cut into manageable pieces and it will then take 4 loads to the dump to rid the yard of them.
John across the street commended me how nice we are to do that. I told him to keep that nice shit under wraps, I have a reputation to keep up.
Clearing out the stuff, we were swarmed by these things. They are like militant mosquitoes! Look them up. Anyway, looking around the yard now that we can actually see the house, there are breeding areas of stagnant water all over the place. I gave Mr Giggles the job of turning over all that shit to get rid of these bugs.
He admitted embarrassment for letting the place go but says he's in poor health, has a daughter dying of cancer and her husband with parkinsons. He also said he better be nice to me or I wont' give him any more cookies at Christmas! Apparently I'm the cookie lady.
Tomorrow we're going to clear out more while I plant tomatoes and other veggies. I can't let it continue and not be able to enjoy my yard because of it. It's so bad you can see clouds of the things. It's all Mr Giggle's fault!
I hate people who don't keep their yards nice. Hell, semi nice and free of disease breeding animals is enough for me.
