foxgrrlSo, yesterday I did some gardening, something which I've had extremely little time to do lately. (In fact the gardening I was doing made me an hour late for something else.) I had to leave in the middle, but I was going to finish up when I got back, or today.
While I was gone, someone went into my backyard, and mowed everything down. There was no one else home at the time. I was furious and first thing this morning, told my roommate to totally cancel the yardkeeping service. He was surprised that showed up unexpectedly yesterday. And when he called them, and the landlord, they said that they had not been by yesterday.
So, this means that some complete stranger, entered our fenced backyard with a lawnmower, mowed everything down, and left, touching nothing else. WTF?
I've been trying to stay in a good mood all day, but I've almost broken down crying from this twice. I was so excited to see the baby plants that were just growing back, and now they're all gone. I was just watering them yesterday afternoon. I feel like I'm wasting my time. Everything I try to create is destroyed almost immediately. I can't turn my back for five minutes.

Hang in there. Sometimes the universe tests us when we feel good. This will sort itself out. Certainly. Maybe big signs would help over things you garden. Surely, if it is a mistaken mow whomever wanted the real mowing has contacted the offending mowers and asked them why they didn't mow the correct yard; so likely they won't make this mistake again.
I hope it's not someone who knows you or your roommates and is doing this maliciously... If it is. Kick their ass from there to here and I'll kick it again Southern Style.
