THERE WE WERE…
…walking along a frequently traveled residential sidewalk. Indeed, my guide Jonah and I traverse the location every day as it just one block from our house.

The neighbor’s pnlox are pretty though they have been growing through their fence and obstructing the sidewalk. The sidewalk is narrow and the encroaching flowers have begun to interfere with Jonah’s guide work.

The situation called for householder gardening though this was unlikely since the property is rented with an absent owner. I took matters into “my own hands” (literally) and pulled the obstructing flowers out.

Perhaps this was too drastic though it seemed justified.
