Disobedient Nature:
This time it's personal
Forgive me Biome, for I have sinned

You know what's totally awesome? Learning to live with nature, which doesn't really care one way or another what you do.

In this case, the disobedience of nature is especially personal, and our interests in this matter are conflicted. Normally we love the beauty of disobedient nature tumbling castle walls and confounding the corporate paymasters who rape her. But here disobedient nature has...contradicted...our specific needs.

We live in a fixer upper, in a "transitional neighborhood" and the result is we have a lot of legacy nature hanging around the place.

When we moved in there was nature growing tall enough to cover the house and the front windows, there was nature all over the back yard and steps, occasional nature coming in the holes in the roof, and nature seeping into the basement.

As we approach the three year anniversary of occupancy there's trees growing through the fences, trees growing around the garage and the foundation, trees occasionally dropping massive limbs, water still seeps in the basement, and the grass is insane. . .
