He would use the old-fashioned grass clippers for the areas where the lawnmower could not reach, and did so without gloves. Of course, this resulted in horrendous, bleeding blisters each time, which made sense in a way. His father had died of a heart attack while mowing the lawn, a chore that supposedly had been assigned to my stepfather. I figured it was his way of doing penance. It also instilled in me a need for perspective in such matters as whether or not a dandelion should be allowed to go to seed. Let it.<BR/><BR/>As for the fence and the law, I believe immanent domain may be relevant here.bastinptchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01831273031973399021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3083330322113258405.post-60530060502938122742009-01-29T15:26:00.000-08:002009-01-29T15:26:00.000-08:00Neighbors...I take care of my yard similar to how ...Neighbors...I take care of my yard similar to how you have described your yard. I do yardwork as I get to it. My neighbor however is the opposite of yours...they literally have let their house fall down around them. Keep in mind, we are in the city limits...they quit mowing 3 years ago, their fence fell in my yard 2 years ago (I threw it back into their yard), their gutters have fallen off, they have an unrepaired broken patio window and so on. Last winter they abandoned the house...6 months ago they brought a van that doesn't run anymore and left it in the driveway...another thing to keep in mind is that we have 1/2 acre lots...hard to not see the eye-sore...just another perspective on what neighbors can be like. I wonder if sometime when I cut a tree out of their yard to keep it off my house if I am going to get sued...lol...ah, what has this world come to??? Lawsuits for everything that doesn't suit us and we have to worry about that...sad<BR/><BR/>See you at the tables!
