I’m 73 and in a wheelchair, and my garden is my entire world.
So when my new neighbor started dumping trash on my property—and laughed in my face when I asked her to stop—I didn’t argue anymore.
I documented everything, photos, dates, even footprints in the snow. Then I sent it all to her landlord, who also happens to be my longtime friend.
A few days later, I gave her a small “gift box” to smooth things over.
She didn’t realize it was already too late.
Moments later, she came running out screaming—because she was being evicted.
She tried to blame me. Called me bitter. Said it was “just trash.”
But I simply told her the truth:
“It was my yard. And your lease.”
By the end of the week, she was gone.
Now my garden is quiet again. My trees are clean. And I learned something important:
Respect isn’t optional—no matter how old you are, or what you sit in.
