Sorta Done
Over the weekend, it seems that that neighbor lady FINALLY got someone to come over and remove the tree that fell in the middle of our driveway. As you might suspect, having a downed tree in the middle of the driveway and front yard is pretty annoying. The tree had begun tipping all the way back since the aftermath of Hurricane Isabel, and a month or two ago had finally fallen down (taking several beautiful branches of flowering trees down in the process). The large tree was clearly from her yard, and while she knew about it, she did nothing. I’m not sure if in the end our landlord was able to pressure her into removing it, or if he just had it removed himself and sent her the bill. I guess it’s not really my concern. I’m just glad to be able to park within walking distance of where I live. The person who took care of the tree was not particularly considerate, however. He showed up at 8:00 AM on Saturday with his chainsaw and got to work (waking me up). He didn’t take the tree away either. He left the stump (half out of the ground, but laying on the neighbor’s property), cutting it so that it was just barely inside the property line, and he just threw the large pieces of tree back over onto the neighbor’s property. It’s better than nothing, but it’s not really that great a job.
In other news of things that should have been finished a long time ago, but still aren’t quite done, I’ve put some shading on my Azumanga fanart. Seriously, it’s almost done! I have shading for three more characters to do, highlights for everyone, three quick eyes, and a background. Then it will be finished! I’m very eager to slowly begin working on another piece =).
