DON'T TOUCH MY BUSH

So now I will be the first to say this is kind of petty but damn it it is MY bush and if I do not want it trimmed then that's how it should be!
We have a bush in our front yard (which once I get the video footage done, everyone will see) and I love it. I have never had a beautiful yard with bushes and trees and now I do. One of the days while Heath and I were doing the yard work our nosey neighbor came over and informed us that she had been taking care of the yard for the landlord but now it was our responsibility. She also informed us that she wants us to cut down the several HUGE trees we have because they drop branches in her yard during storms and we needed to also cut our bush down in the front yard because it is scratchy when they walk by.
I told her we were not going to cut the trees down and that I liked the bush and it was going to stay as it was.
Weeks have gone by and countless times this lady has let herself into our home while we are working on it. No knocking just comes right in.
She is the old lady on the block who knows what everyone else is doing.
Well shortly after Heath left I was walking over to the house to start painting the kid's rooms and noticed a pile of branches laying next to my bush. I then noticed the the bush and been unevenly trimmed all the way around!
I placed a call to Heath demanding to know why he cut my bush only to find out that the neighbor's daughter had taken it upon herself to trim my bush. When Heath asked them why they said people had been complaining. Now first this is not a monster bush all over grown, it is a nice round bush IN my yard. Second IF the neighbors had been complaining this particular neighbor could have came and told Heath who was constantly watching the daughter's son and always over at the new house. No one asked and they also left all the branches lying in the yard.
I got so angry but instead of yelling at her, which of course was my first thought, I politely piled up the branches and put them in her yard and hung a NO TRESPASSING sign on the butchered bush.
The next day the old lady next door came over and asked if I was angry about them cutting the bush and I said yes. She started to give several excuses as to why they felt the had the right to come on my property and trim my bush. Each one was made up and I called her on each one.
I explained that WE were now responsible for the bush and that if there was an issue all she had to do was come talk to us.
I feel kind of bad because I am sure in her mind she had the right to trim my bush. I have nothing against the old lady but her daughter and I are gonna go at it.
Oh well the bush will grow back right?
Well Stan you said you wanted a post so there it is!

Oh by the way the days have been climbing in heat average is in the high eighties-low nineties. I am thankful every I walk into a building with air conditioning! Heath by the way I figured out how to turn on the central air in the house. You know the temp thing by the kitchen, yeah you turn it from heat to cool! I am a genius!
I also got part of Hunter's room painted but lost motivation really quick due to the high temps in the house.
The house looks pretty with all the lights on and it was way cool to vacuum finally! The downstairs is starting to look like a house despite the old wall paper and bare rooms!
Well that is all I got right now!
Tell the kids I LOVE them and MISS them!
See you all soon!
