the neighbours have been building a new fence…

I’ve watched the process… once the fence came down between our yards it seemed very exposed…

they cut down two volunteer elm trees that have been growing next to my garage and took all the junk to the dump…

then a company came, dug the holes for the posts, and installed them… the neighbour and a friend put up the frame and then they got most of the boards installed…

that looked very nice and he then worked on the gates and the cap;-)… pretty sure their puppy was happy when it was all done and she could get off the rope…

pleased to have it back up which makes me feel much less on display, lol…

spent the morning in the house as I was waiting for a delivery…

had a very entertaining time as there was a lot going on at the house across the street…

the crew that had installed a new fence just a few weeks ago were back and taking the fence down…

then, they put up a new fence, which looked the same to me, lol… and took most of the day…

kept me busy watching the process;-)…

today I spent hours sitting in the living room reading and watching the neighbour across the street working on the lilac bush… this is how it looked a few weeks back…

here is how it looked a few years ago when it was blooming…

yesterday they had surveyors out measuring the edges of the property, so I am assuming they are going to put up a fence… the surveyors had to dig into the bush to set their mark…

this morning I spotted him chopping down a bunch of the branches and wondered if he was removing the whole thing…

eventually I went outside and shared the story of that particular bush… maybe twenty-five years ago we removed a lilac from the backyard… we gave a tiny piece to our neighbour who lived in that house…

I shared how her teenage son would take out his frustrations with a golf club on the little bush… so was amazed that it grew up, lol…

the new neighbour advised that he is putting in a fence along the side, but was just pruning the bush so he could work with it without needing a ladder…

here’s a final shot of how it looks now…

glad it is remaining and looking forward to watching it grow;-)…
