In a previous post titled 'The Downside of Neighbors' I lamented the loss of trees in our neighbor's yard as well as the loss of our own privacy barrier in our own yard. Some of you have asked us why we are making such a 'big deal' about this while others have voiced confusion as to where in our yard these things are taking place. To give you a clearer picture I've included a detailed map.

As an unspoken reply to our metal fence posts, the neighbors have dug up the original little 10 inch trees and have replaced them with much taller 4 foot trees. I'm assuming the new trees are meant to be some kind of good-will gesture toward us, but I can't help but also wonder if they are trying to hide the chain link fence and the brush pile just inside our property. The new trees are about 5 or 6 feet apart, so there are still some pretty big gaps between them -- this angle makes it look like it's a thick hedge... It's not. However, you can see that their trees are safely on their side of the line. . :)
