Hills continued

Now 10 years ago, I had to find a new home quick. For political reasons, the Department was getting rid of all the caretaker's for the Parks. It sucked because besides being cheap rent, no commute and going home everyday for lunch, we had 50 acres to watch over. While I had great neighbors, they didn't live close enough to the house that I could watch their tv or smell what was cooking for dinner.
Anyhow, I wanted to live close to work so we went looking around the nicest neighborhood we could afford. We checked out a few houses, but most either smelled like catbox or needed to much repair just to move in. We found this one. I didn't "fall in love" with it, but it had the necessities (a hot tub-which has since died, and a bar within walking distance.) so we bought it.
We were surprised when my hubby's best friend's mom pulled up to the house next door. Seems like his friend's neice lived next door to our future home. That was cool. But on the other side.......
THE WELCOMELESS WAGON
A few weeks after moving in, my husband brought a juniper tree down from his grandma's house to plant in our side yard that borders the Hill's. We placed it in the spot we were going to plant it and went out to dinner. It was a rainy night, and when we got home we saw a plastic baggie tied to the little tree with a note inside that read....
"Before you plant this, do you know where the property line is?"
What a hoot, considering these assholes had their fence under our freakin eaves, and considered whatever land was on the other side of our fence part of their yard. (The previous owner had put our fence sitting 3 feet off of the property line of our house so he could paint or whatever)
We just took the note off the tree and threw it away.
We never did officialy plant that tree. Instead we broke the bottom of it's plastic pot, built a wall of stone around it and left it right where it was. That tree is now 25 feet tall, very healthy and blocks the view of their front porch from us when we are sitting on our front porch......
