My Neighbor the Azalia Killer....dun...dun...dun

I am sooooo mad!!!! 
So my neighbor is an older lady that never
does anything with her yard except when
her son comes over to mow. No big deal.
Our houses back up to a small creek with
some wooded areas in the backyard. There
are a few tree clusters with some other
small growth that covers half the
backyard. This past weekend, they decided
to put up a fence in their backyard and
have bushhogged (or whatever you call it)
the wooded areas and graded their
yard...Totally fine...Well today I come
home and go outside to water my herb
garden and my azalias, and they are gone.
I just planted them this spring, so they
are not that big, but I planted them and
was looking forward to them growing big
and pretty.
Well our neighbor (or whoever has done
their work) decided that they would take
it upon themselves to clear out our wooded
area. They didn't do a real great job
around the trees, but for most of the
small growth, they cleared it out to the
ground.... And in the processes cut down
my azalias...
Now dont get me wrong, as soon as I saw
that they had done that to their yard, I
told dh that it would be cool to do that
to ours when we were ready to fix up the
backyard. It does look good, and makes
our yard look twice as big....BUT WHO DOES
THAT???? Without asking????
I don't know weather or not to be mad or
be thankful.
I don't know if the lady was trying to be
nice and just did it, or the guy she hired
did it on his own, or what. I have no
idea!!!!
All I know is that my pretty azalias are
gone and all dh could say was...well we
can always plant some more!!! Its not the
same!

Well it is probably a heck of a lot
cheaper to plant azaleas than to pay
someone to clear the lot. I would be
thankful

did it without asking. but if you were
going to do it anyway, hey, who cares?

This morning I was looking outside and
said to dh how big the yard looked now.
He said, "If I see that guy out there
today, Im going to say something" I told
him not to worry about it. Im over my
azalias and I can always get more.
And Opal, you're right, it is a heck of a
lot cheaper to plant new azalias than to
clear the land. We were going to have to
rent the equipment to do it anyways.
Im not mad anymore, but it is still really
random that they would do that without
asking. I think I will just bite my
tounge and let a sleaping dog lie.
I think maybe our neighbor was trying to
be nice. She is an elderly lady that
lives in a 4 bedroom house all by herself.
She is actually from the same town that
we used to live in in Virginia, so I
imagine she was just being nice.
RIP my azalias

Is there a definitive border between the
two properties? He could have just gotten
confused in the process and not realized
what he was doing.

I know what you meant when you said you
didn't know whether to be grateful or
angry. I get like that sometimes. A lot
of times people do things that I was
planning to do anyway but they don't ask
me first and I get angry. It's like, how
do you know that's what I wanted to do?
What if I didn't? I usually get over it
as long as it was something I was going to
wind up doing anyway.

It is pretty obvious where the property
lines are. The lots are only 1/4 acres
and the houses are right next to each
other. So I don't think he thought he was
in their backyard when he was behind my
house.
I am over it. I was just mad at the time
when I saw my azalias gone.

I would, but I feel bad...She is a little
old lady that lives by herself.
My dh said that if he sees them working on
the fence in the next few days, he will
say something to them.
THe sprinkler was given to us anyways, so
it wasn't anything special.
