I've shared my angst and frustration over neighbor problems in Cadrieu this past summer. Those evergreen trees are the border to my property. Does that look like trespassing to you? Although it lasted all summer long; the neighbor story did have a happy ending on my very last weekend in the Lot. They leveled my land, planted grass seed, and a box of wildflowers was provided to me so I can plant them upon my return to Cadrieu in 2015. I'd had a very different plan for that border. Look at those two evergreen trees. They both had sweet and festive beginnings...
...as rooted Christmas Trees in the Chatette. The shot on the left was taken in 2008. Look at that baby now...it's the tree on the left on the border. I had another successful after the holidays tree planting in 2009 to its right, but during 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 I was spending my Christmas and New Year's working contracts in Brunssum, Holland.
My plan had been to have a beautiful row of former Christmas trees as the barrier between mine and the neighbor's property.
Trust me. Had a tree been up every year that I was living in France...there's no way that any heavy machinery could have crossed that property line.
I loved having a real rooted tree every year that I could plant when the holidays were over.
It looks like it's going to be a while before I'll be back at the Chatette during the holidays. Those two may be monster trees by then.
