The trumpet vine war continues

Yesterday morning I was mowing the side yard of my house early in the morning. Bob was doing some edging.  I happen to look up and there is my arch enemy neighbor on a ladder leaing over her fence with clippers chopping down the trumpet vine on our side of the fence. Bob dropped the edger and ran over to her. I flew over there too and unlike Bob, I was screaming.  She said she had every right to cut down the vine if it was improving her property. I was yelling like a lunatic.  I said cut it all you want on you're side not mine.  She had an issue with it growing through the stockade fence.  Well it was growing through the fence because her fence was rotting away and nails couldn't even hold it together.  I could not believe this was happening.   She had the nerve to say calm down. It now starts to rain.  Noodle who panics in the rain is crying and whining.  I  go and take care of her.  Bob goes over to the woman and tries to reason with her telling her the same stuff that I did. I go back to mowing.  The next thing I notice is Bob on a ladder with a chain saw on a ladder cutting down a maple tree that was growing between her fence and our shorter chain link fence.  She thought it was our tree. We knew it was her's but we didn't dare cut it down. Now the two of them are best friends.  Not really.  I could puke.

Not much new

My workmate Lisa reminded me that I haven't updated anything lately.  There's really nothing new. The garden for 2012 is coming along nicely.  I can't keep up with the radishes.  I call them radishes disguised as beets (pretty big). They still taste good.  I'm growing summer squash this summer (lol) along with grape tomatoes, cukes, beans, peppers, and a couple of melons.

The trumpet vine is under control. I trim it weekly. Last but not least the Royal Enfield is spending the summer in the garage. After the breakdown on the highway nobody can get it going again. Alot of Bob's friends have looked at it and they all have different opinions.  It was a fun thing while it lasted.

CORRECTION

A friend was reading my most recent post. After reading it, she wanted to do some research on the bike. She typed in Royal Elton. The bike is a Royal Enfield. I can't believe I didn't notice it.

A little more catching up

I have really ignored my blog. It's even too boring for me. I'll skip whats been happening since last summer, which is really nothing. The weather is gonna go up to the mid eighties today. Yesterday Bob,I and Noodle went for a nice ride on my Royal Elton motorcycle. It was supposedly a great deal even though it wasn't running. Well it is finally running and we hit the road.  It was a great day. We rode all over Plymouth and stopped at a friend's house to show them the bike.
