So says Robert Frost. But what's our neighbor doing on "his" side of the laurel hedge? He cut it back a couple of years ago and it finally recovered, but now he's digging out a 3-foot deep trench right along the property line. I assume, to pour a concrete footing for the beautiful Great Wall of Washington.
Laurels can take considerable abuse, but this time he sawed off all the roots near the trunks. Time will tell. John says if it dies, we can always plant revenge bamboo. Ha!
As you probably guessed, we're not exactly chatty best friends with these folks next door. But still, a head's up would have been nice. Anyway, that's life in the Urban Village, where you better stake out every single inch of your property, or someone might build a condo on it.
So the weekend is here, and looks like a nice one. Once we get through a little rain today, nice sunny skies clear through next week, including a rare dry Halloween. Love it or hate it, we get into these persistent weather patterns that stick around for days.
No concerts, but two football games to watch. I may need to get out of the house during the Buckeyes, as things get a bit intense around here when they play a real team for a change. On Seahawks Sunday, we're having a roast turkey breast dinner for a little holiday warm-up.
See you Monday.
