I cut down maybe 10 to 15 trees a couple weeks ago. And then I let them just sit in the back portion of our property and it looked terrible. So I knew I needed to remove those, and my neighbor’s question about them sort of inspired me to get those out of there today.
I had Yun’s brother and her dad helping me today.We were able to get about eight hundred pounds into the trailer. No small thing. It’s exhausting work but it’s a nice distraction from a fairly stressful week.
Of course what doesn’t help is that our neighbor began screaming at us around 8am. She’s clearly mentally ill. And we try to be patient with her. But it gets tiring very quickly. So we called the police out and they responded promptly. They’ve been out numerous times in the past. Nothing much accomplished but we hope that it will deter her from continued behavior. It probably won’t.
The sheriff’s department is always very kind and understanding. There’s not much they can do but they do talk to her. These are interesting times. Who knows how long this will last.
But on the positive note we do have our block to raise the wall seven feet tall on her side of the property. Which means in the next few weeks her existence will no longer be apparent to us. That’s the hope at least.
