What the...?



We got back to Vermont to find a lawn badly in need of mowing, a garden badly in need of weeding, and a number of small trees downed over a serious set of tire tracks in the corner of the front yard.  There were a few broken bits of a vehicle, but we really have no clue yet as to details.
This is the second time this has happened.  A few years ago we woke to find a small pickup truck hung up in a tree in this same spot.  There were more trees there then so that vehicle didn't get so far.
We had a safe trip back, and for that I am grateful.

    What a mess to come home to. Hate to take time to clean up what others create. Sorry, I hope you summer gets better.

    Glad you got home, from your little holiday.

    Sorry you found what you did.

    Do you report it to the police, and let their labs, go to work on the who-did-it part?

    Happy Midsummer's Eve

    Good grief, are you an a hairy curve or something? Think you need to put some concrete barriers up. That mighty slow them down.
    Got the feeling it was not a sober soul.

    "There were more trees there then..."
    If this keeps up, you won't have any trees there!
    Did the bits of vehicle show any clue of color, at least? I wonder if the vehicle got out under its own power or had to be towed...?
    Such a mystery!
    Maybe it's time to put a few big boulders there!

    That is not a nice thing to come home to. I hate that people do that. We had someone plow through our fence a few years ago. I woke to see a car in my backyard. By the time I got downstairs, the car was gone. The fence was a few months old and cost $600 to fix. Grrrr.

    Maybe you need some big boulders on the property.

    Ah! So this is the original evidence of chicanery. It's all very Scooby Doo.

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own ...

New Furniture

 We went shopping for a new couch. I liked this one, the first store we went to. Of course it would be an impulse to buy the first one so we trekked around to other stores -- something we liked more, a better deal? No surprise that we ended up going back to that first store the next day and purchasing that couch for our living room. Also a matching love seat for the den where we watch TV. Because I had replaced my old love seat with two recliners. We couldn't keep three households worth of furniture after all. Well, my recliner was not big enough to accommodate both Levi and me. Poor boy had to watch TV from his bed on the floor. There! This is much better! Spoiled much? The little tail on the floor belongs to his toy squirrel, Buddy. It's like having a toddler with the need to be picking up toys or risk tripping over them. But his very favorite play thing is that bathmat that can be found anywhere but the bathroom floor.

Walking

 I have always been a walker. Now that I have a high energy dog there is no excuse for not getting out there. And the weather is not an interfering factor here. Early morning and early evening are our preferred times so even when it gets hot we should be okay. We can get quite a long walk going around the neighborhood, greeting neighbors out working in their yards or walking their own dogs. But the landscape changes quickly just beyond the confines of the housing developments. It could be described as natural Florida or as sites of future housing developments. I do prefer the first option. And I really enjoy being out in natural areas so I often opt to head to a nature setting. I would have liked to put a picture here. Unfortunately my iPhone has made a unilateral decision. It will no longer be sending my photos to my computer. Why? I have no idea. However, we may be walking along happily enough -- me listening to the birds or trying to identify wildflowers and other plants while L...
