I feel somewhat accomplished even if it was done under duress. My grandmother had called, angry; "people" had been calling her complaining that we (my wife, me) were lowering people's property values. Now it's true there are a number of empty apartments in this building. It's likewise true that until this afternoon my back garden looked like a cross between a rubbish tip and a new-growth forest.
Now it just looks like a forest. It's kind of pretty, really. The maple is doing well. There are a lot of 'weed' trees; chinaberry from seeds and rhizomes, something with broad flat leaves, something I hope is oak and not poison oak. I'll see if I can't get a picture before it's cleared up -- my grandmother will be sending someone to do that but she wanted the rubbish dealt with first.
I've told her. I haven't told the wife yet; I want to show her when she gets home from work.
This is going to hurt a lot. It does hurt a lot-it's just going to hurt more later. I should bathe before my hands seize up entirely.
Tchuß!
p.s. Oh. Um. Yes: I'm not gone. Just been feeling quiet. I'm starting to poke my way back to the internets now.
