Surprise

The dynamic in my house is such that I get to wake up at the ass crack of dawn... ok 7:00 is just a wee bit past the crack but still.... I occasionally get 20-30 minutes before my children realize I am awake. Then I feed them while I clean the house trying to ensure that they do not wake daddy or kill each other.

On this particularly not-yet-boiling morning, I decided to deal with my neighbor's palm trees while the kids play outside.
They have these massive palms lining our shared fence in the back yard. Their shit spills over my side constantly because they never do anything but mow their overgrown weed-patch, I mean garden... I should mention that said mowing only includes what the ride-on can hit. I get grass growing OVER my fence from areas the mower does not reach. They also have banana trees that keel over to die on my side. Oh and did I mention the flocks of pigeons?
I shouldn't judge, but it erks me when people dont care about the houses THEY bought. Don't want to mow? Don't want to take care of your plants, DON'T buy a FUCKING house! Get a condo. No maintenance.
Granted, they are freaking PRISTINE in comparison to the cat people across the street. Don't get me started.
So, on this fine morning I took my ladder and my clippers and made a beautiful-looking oasis. Well the view from MY side anyway. lol
I pulled years worth of dead palm fronds and cut back over growth to give these poor plants some breathing room. It looks awesome.

The most awesome part though? My husband waking up at the crack of noon to a massive pile of fronds in the back yard. Yeah, 4 hours bub! What do you think I do with 4 hours? lol.

I took pictures, but as usual, I left my phone at home. So you will need to imagine the four foot but, 10 by 12 pile of fronds.
Until tomorrow, when I will post some pictures.
Disclaimer: I'm not a curser. In real life, I am very nice. I swear. Only my care knows about my potty-mouth. Ok, and any potential followers of my blog now, I guess.



Tootles.
