It seems like it was just yesterday when I moved into this
Do you remember when I posted about my porch, and my neighbor from hell? And how bad I felt when I decided to tell her I didn't want her
This is what her side looked like then.........
Fast forward to today.....Now, it's her side, and God love her if she can cram one more spider plant or creeping charlie on there...but her plants are infringing on my carbon footprint!
There was one thing I didn't document back in March. That was because I had no idea there was a sleeping, giant, PURPLE KILLER PLANT lurking underground! But take my word, this plant sprung up from nowhere and started choking my tiny under-nourished hedge. My hedge is the only friggin thing I want bordering my side of the dinking porch. I want it to grow higher, I want to keep it neatly trimmed and happy.
But this purple stuff, to the delight of my neighbor, flourished! My hedge cried out for help. Yesterday, I mentioned to my neighbor in passing, that I was going to remove the purple stuff, but since I knew she had planted it, I wanted to let her take it out if she wanted to plant it somewhere
Since my bedroom faces the east, I don't pull the blinds up until around ten.
Holy mother of all things sacred!
My neighbor must have worked all night gotten up at the crack of dawn to dig this stuff out!
This is the view from my car.
I guess she's leaving it there until the landscapers come tomorrow. Yeah, it's not their job so I will probably pick it up and take it to the dumpster.

But readers? One thing never changes...My side is still plain and bare. This has to drive my neighbor crazy.

Such Drama!
I again want to point out that you tagged me regarding The Mole so I started watching it and now you never talk about it. I think it's the girl. She always does this big drama queen thing about how she's gonna quit or how she's getting kicked of this week and never does. It HAS to be her!
At least it's not garbage all over her side of the porch!?
Neighbor problems send me right over the edge. There's nothing worse. Well, okay, almost nothing.
In times such as these there is only one real question to direct how we respond:
What would Rita do?
CBW, Rita would totally out-do the neighbor, and the neighbors would look like weeds in comparison. I am so not the apple off rita's tree...more like the pit.
I agree, neighbor issues are a big pain in the a&%! I have a neighbor who has 5 automobiles and they are all parked in front of MY house. But they're your neighbors so you have to be careful about what you say and do. I am impressed that you dealt with the porch issues. I'm not that brave.
That plant is ugly. I am glad you told her you wanted it down. Way to go, Grandma J. Since you are so good at dealing with life's nuisances, please come to my job and talk to my boss. She is driving me CRAZY! Really, truly crazy.
Less is more.. Your side looks refreshing.
Introduce your neighbor to 'Blogging'...maybe she won't have time to take care of the plants and they'll all die!
"her plants are infringing on my carbon footprint" is the best line I've read all week.
Your side makes me want to sit down with a book and a cold drink. I think I would be too distracted to read on your neighbor's side...very cluttered!
Hmmm... I don't see pics of your CO grandkids?
My neighbor had that purple crawly stuff. It is next to impossible to get rid of! Good luck with your fun neighbor!
