My Neighbors

Okay so this is kinda funny. We have neighbors whose names are Lee and Lisa. They are in thier forties with no kids and two cats. So they moved in (next door) in the fall a few years ago and that following summer they went to TOWN on thier lawn. I am talking flowers and trees and building things like birdhouses and fences and arches over thier sidewalks okay. And we live in a trailer park which makes this all the more funny to me. So they were out there EVERY night watering and pruning and planting and weeding. They would sit out on thier deck late at night talking about thier backyard plans. Where they would plant this or what that rose bush was doing. I remember one night they SERIOUSLY had a full blown discussion about why a rose had died.

So anyways, the following summer (last summer) was the complete opposite. Things were dying and there lawn looked like ours (bad) and there were weeds everywhere and they were never out there. It was weird. Then towards the end of the summer the wife decided they needed some dirt. I never even knew there were dirt people who would deliver dirt to your yard but there are. So they had a MOUND of dirt on thier driveway for a good three months at least. And the husband yelled at the wife over this a fair amount. This mound was as tall as a car and about half as short. So it was hilarious. If history repeats I think this summer there lawn will be immaculate again. I wait in anticipation for lee and lisa's antics.
