I warned them. For a year I warned them. Did they listen? No. Every time I saw them I gave them the same warning - “One of these days I’m going to cut you into little pieces” but I don’t think they believed I would do it. Or that I could do it. But I could. And did.
Today something finally snapped and me and I decided it was time. I got out the electric chain saw (the better to not alert the neighbors with my dear), snuck up on them when they weren’t looking, and starting hacking.
It was a mess - limbs were flying everywhere. The work was hard but I was able to force my way through it. Just as I was getting to the messiest part mother nature favored me with a soaking rain - the better to hide the evidence of my deed.
Finally after 5 hours of hard labor I was done. The mess was cleaned up and I don’t think anyone will ever find the remains. I have some serious blisters and aches but it was well worth it - I won’t have to deal with them ever again.
Two rhododendrons and two evergreen bushes are now dead - never to return.
Rest in pieces.
