The view from my desk has changed drastically. I guess the neighbors decided the wild, untamed look was too much and they stripped the yard bare of everything but the largest blobs of color and botanical life. Much like the stray cats who stalked through the tall vegetation, I sulk to think of the beauty that's been lost. The blue spiderwort greeting the day and disintegrating in the heat, the strange lilies that had yet to bl00m, the few strands of grass fighting to make progeny among all the other untamed plants. For me, the comfort of witnessing a place allowed to just be...to grow outside the lines, 'unnoticed' and left alone was wonderful. The sparrows, pigeons and blackbirds now enjoy the disturbed yard and we all watch to see the neighbor's vision manifested.
