Home owner's associations

Today, I am tired. I helped Isadora rip the plumbagoes (plants) out of the front garden. I destroyed the front garden. She was taking her time and being delicate. I came along with a pick ax, an axe and a shovel. Done in 20 minutes. Dirt and roots everywhere. Conan the Garden Destroyer.

We got a home owner association letter telling us to plant more robust bushes. In the South, every neighborhood has a home owners association. They are little old ladies that run around and issue citations against infractions against the home owner association by laws. It is totally communist. Growing up in the 80's all I heard was that the Soviets dictated every aspect of a person's life. In the South, I am paying my mortgage, but I feel like I am renting it from the home owner's association. Total BS.

America is not free.

I mean really. I lived in the North for 27 years without a home owners association. No person ever painted their house pink with yellow polka dots and brought down the home value of the neighborhood. They act like if the home owners association would go away, we would all go crazy! My house is a disgusting mint green. How did this pass inspection? I would never have painted my house mint green. They are complaining about the plumbagoes? They need to look up.
