My Next Door Neighbor Stuck a Nasty Letter in My Kitchen Door

[MineralMan]

56. I don't care if she mows her lawn or not.

It's not really a concern for me. As I described upthread, I sort of enjoy her wild landscape, really. That's not the issue here at all. The issue is that she blamed me for the city sending her an abatement notice. She is not likely to mow her yard. She has a working lawnmower, but does not use it. Ever. Once in a while, one of her relatives will use it, but I haven't seen any of those around lately.

There's an ambitious 15-year-old up the street who mows yards for just $10 for the front or back yard. He knocks on doors. Since I still take some satisfaction out of doing mine myself at age 74, I haven't hired him to do mine. After getting the abatement notice, though, my neighbor hired a lawn service to come and whack her yard down. I don't know how much that cost, but the kid would have done it for a fraction of whatever it cost her.

I doubt she'll have it mowed again this year. Once a year is enough, I suppose.
