Realization.

I had been unsure of where our property ended and where our neighbors' begins. The little pink flag that someone tied to a tree branch to mark the property line has quite obviously moved during the past few years of growth. I, of course, didn't want to be ghetto and sneak out at night with a tape measure, either. I really don't want to risk humilation by asking them, either. The only reason I wondered in the first place was because there is a raised flower bed in the area of contention, as well as some ugly-ass saplings that I want to cut down. They just look so messy there.

Looks like Slicky Ricky next door has been out having fun with his leaf blower. Everything that had been in his driveway and surrounds is now in the daffodil run separating his driveway from our yard. It's about three feet wide and runs from the ditch to the chain link fence that separates our front yard from the back.

I guess the daffodil run is ours. This is process of elimination: he did the same thing last fall and they never got raked up, so the assumption is that it's our property. Leaves make pretty crappy mulch and don't add much to clay soil, so Ms. Green Thumb next door wouldn't have left them there if it was thiers.

I'm not petty...I just want those beds for my evil plans of world domination to plant stuff.
