oh no

they plowed over our backyard garden today. they cut almost everything down. they took the 12ft tall sunflowers, the morning glories, the day lillies, the moon flowers, the dianthus, tomato plants, a baby maple tree, a baby oak tree, etc etc etc. it looks like a vacant lot back there now. there is just a big open yard of dirt. they even tore down our lattice archway with the morning glories climbing around it. luckily, they left our bench swing, red chair, firepit, and lavender and clayomes (but only because we caught them in time and asked them to). i suppose it is at least a little more okay because i hadn't put as much into it this year as i had been the last couple of years, and we have some nice things growing out front as well. it's still pretty upsetting, though. they did it because we moved upstairs and some people are moving in downstairs and apparently they thought we 'didn't want any of that stuff back there anymore'. whatever. i guess we can plant some new stuff. it is rough seeing it like this though.
