As you all know, I've had to suffer the indignity of a big gaudy pinwheel and 2 kitschy 99 cent store garden signs in my garden this summer, placed there by the Chinese neighbor next-door-upstairs. Never mind the exquisite hostas and heucheras there, accented by a profusion of petunias, portulaca, lobelia and mini-snaps. Never mind the flood of compliments by dogwalkers passing by, college students on their way to class and grateful neighbors. I had to see these THINGS in the garden. Oh, the indignity!
I don't know if it was the wind or the demon spawn 6 year old boy next door, but yesterday I found the pinwheel disassembled, its component parts scattered over the ground. I looked to the left, to the right, and RAN over to retrieve it and stuff it into the garbage can---even under other garbage. I fully expected it to have been retrieved from the garbage and reconstituted, but the maintenance guys must have beat the Chinese guy in emptying the garbage can.
Yahoooo!!! One piece of junk down, two to go. Perhaps the winter snows will rot the wood of the kitschy signs.
Meanwhile, I am still floating on the end-of-the-block neighbor's compliment of the other day. He told me that my garden was so lovely, it would make a beautiful wedding backdrop.
For a co-op garden, it just couldn't get better than that, for me.
