Spring Comes To Syracuse
Foliage and Mob Mentality Erupt in a Fusion of Colors
From my good friend, MisterKlean. It's a picture of azaleas from the front of his house. MK is the only adult I know who is either responsible enough or foolish enough to be a bonafide homeowner. When he moved in last fall the landscape potential was an unknown, but now that warm weather has arrived his yard is a non-stop surprise party as all of the flowering plants come to life. Another surprise has been his introduction to the deadly-serious pressure of keeping a suburban lawn in a manner that will keep the neighbors from descending with torches and pitchforks as they battle to maintain the "integrity of the neighborhood". That's some motivation I could probably live without. My advice; hide behind one of those flowering bushes until the mob has moved on.

when suddenly, there's a knock at the door.....
I love it. I live on three acres in North Georgia, with Dogwoods and Azaleas filling the yard. Most of it doesn't have to get mowed as I'm out in the country, although a 40 acre farm close by has been divided up and they are building houses on it. The quiet road I live on now has more traffic. The advantage I have is that MY house is paid for.
Oh dear, if I had a nickle for every horror story I've heard that started out, "Well, they just divided up that big old farm...."
Prepare to meet thy neighbors sooner rather than later and I don't think they'll be satisfied with just a piece of pie!
