Gyah! **screams**
Freakin' Noxious Weeds Act! What the heck is considered a Noxious Weed?! Delphiniums? They're self-seeding...and by city's definition, any plant that is self-seeding is considered a Noxious Weed.
Is it perhaps the lawn? With the heat wave we've been having, it's been all but impossible to mow the lawn in the backyard (who in their right mind would be out there in 34C mowing three terraced hills?!). So, maybe that's it.
Or perhaps it's the rhubarb? After all, it comes up on its own every year.
The bluebells?
The Lily-of-the-Valley?
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
If we don't take care of the Noxious Weeds, we'll be fined $250 after the first notice (which we just received) and $500 after the second notice. Don't know about most other people, but I know for a fact that my mother can't afford that.
So...my suggestion...which I admit I was a little snarky about giving to the person at City Hall...was to take Round Up to the whole damn yard and kill every blasted thing here.
I was told that someone would get back to me to make it a little more clear what is considered a Noxious Weed. Riiiiight.
**rants some more**
It just really pisses me off. One would think these people have better things to do with their time other than harrassing an old woman with a heart problem (which, incidentally, we had to take her to the Emergency Room on Saturday to deal with...had an angina...whatever the hell that is supposed to mean). >.<
I need to put myself into a better mood quickly. Supposed to be expecting my great-niece this afternoon and I highly doubt my little Munchikin wants to deal with a grumpy aunty. -_-;
