The Curious Hermitage

Sitting here at my desk and I saw a work crew pull up to my yard.

Went out to find out was going on.

Apparently, I got a "long grass" ticket in May - when I was in the hospital with a broken leg - and because I didn't contest it, they're tearing my yard out.

Flowers that were planted decades before I moved here.

Raspberry bushes.

Herbs and perennial edibles.

All destroyed.

I'm not having a good day, y'all.

At all.

Devotional polytheist living a monastic lifestyle centered on curiosity, simplicity, and joy.  Exploring the intersection of technology and spirituality.

Peonies that were planted in the 80s by the woman I got the house from are gone.  A faux hedge I'd been shaping for five years gone.
