The twice-monthly gardeners have been here and gone,
and all the ivy and bouganvilla she cut off is still in the yard.
I'm sure she expected them to clean it all up. They never had
to clean up what I trimmed...why should they start now?
Surely they were warned in the past not to touch anything,
just mow and sweep. That's why it was such a mess before,
many years of dead debris under overgrown ivy. It looked so
much nicer when I pulled out all the dead stuff, cut it up and
filled the trash bins myself. Two bins a week for months.
Then she cut off all the overhanging ivy and bouganvilla that
covered what was left of the dead stuff. I'm still wondering how
she managed to climb that ladder in her wheelchair.....
Well, now all you see is the dead stuff. Doh.
And the cuttings sit in the yard....
Just wait, somehow this will be MY fault.
For all you pan fans: it's been moved over next to the sink.
At least the lid is on. I think the house will explode when
the lid is lifted off. Not gonna be ME. This is day 10.
The bag of moldy lemons on the kitchen table is getting uglier
and uglier. Not touching that either.
