the idiot neighbor. i tried to warn the landlord but to no avail

this weather is weird, and is made even more extreme by the yard full of dark and rich dirt clumps of mud which surround my house, trapping my daughter and i inside to stay away from the obnoxious neighbor who created the horrible mess. Apparently, he convinced the property owner that the perfect yard needed to be transformed into an amazing yard. In the process, he ripped a perfectly great tree out of the ground, (he said it was dead) destroyed part of a hundred-year-old stone wall that encompasses the property, and got mud, sticks, and mayhem all over the damm place. It seems that this will be fucking up our outside play-times for many more months to come. And to top it all off, this guy is the most obnoxious idiot I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. He is one of those people who have a lot to say, but do not ever listen to what others have to say; and why would he anyway- he is always right, especially in the case involving any women, myself definitely included. Most unfortunately, i tried to warn the property owner of this guy's idiotic and stupid behaviors, and i tried to inform him that his beautiful yard was being completely obliterated, but the property owner also sometimes suffers from the ailment of not paying any valuable attention to the females of our our species, and he was not apparently feeling that well when i tried to inform him of what was being done to his yard. I had called him, and told him about how fucked up the yard looked, but he said that it was all under control, that the guy who was doing this was doing it right and that the yard would only be VERY temporarily out of commission; in order for the yard to be transformed into an amazing yard, it would have to be a little messy for a few days. I am not sure what was said to the landlord, or how it was said, in order to convince him that a bobcat needed to be rented to just dig out a small walkway, but nonetheless he was convinced, and the idiot was made able to majorly fuck up our beautiful yard. We will not be able to play any kind of whiffle ball this summer, or grill out, or plant flowers in the flower bed he destroyed. It sucks. But fortunately we do live right down the street from a nice sized park, with a perfect field for playing our whiffle ball within. I love taking Azyah down there to hit the whiffle balls, and scooter loves to chase after them in the field as well.
The idiot neighbor of mine has been at least quiet ever since the landlord got back in to town and saw the devastation; the landlord yelled at the idiot pretty well and fired him from the job of fucking up the yard. Consequently, the idiot neighbor has taken to drinking his cheap bottles of wine in his house and not in the front yard. He was getting progressively bad, annoying the shit out of all our pretty female neighbors- we have lots- and also annoying my daughter by not simply letting her play in her yard in peace. We still have the picnic table out there, he didn't destroy that thankfully, but if we want to use it when we eat dinner, we will have to take our shoes off whenever we get back to our house because they will be caked up to our ankles in rich, dark and beautiful, Ohio valley mud.
We have a little section of nice earth right next to our porch, and i have purchased a few bags of nice potting soil to plant some stuff i love: Butterfly Bushes and Russian Sage plants... i love the way they smell so much! so much indeed, my daughter's middle name is Sage!! Plus, all i need to get the job done is a little shovel, no BOBcat machine is necessary. i might just use a soup spoon instead of buying one from the hardware store, and i'm not going to try and get money off of my rent, i'm going to leave the poor landlord alone since he is already dealing with the incredible mess that has been made of the yard. I already have a job, so I don't need to convince him that the world will end if he doesn't pay me to fuck up the yard, and anyway, that job was already taken by the idiot neighbor. At least our little corner of the known yard universe will be buzzing with butterflies and bees, pleasantly existing without the aid of loud and annoying machines.
