La casa noi

for years now, the neighborhood has had "the unspoken but well understood" contest to see which house had the most gEtTo- rEdNeCk, iNtenSiOnaLLy nEgLecTed yard . . . and for years, we were cLoSe to winning this dReAdeD & uNcoVetEd TitLe, but were aLwAyS saved from the first place position by the two continually abandonded homes. . . one home has gone through 3 owners, the other 4, and one of the homes has been vAcAnT since west & i married almost 4 years ago. . . . we always felt pretty confident that we would nEveR be unanimously & quitely chosen as the gEtTo-rEdNeCk, iNtenSiOnaLLy nEgLecTed yard. . . and then the banks, or whomever is nOt making a profit on these two abandoned homes, thought they could intice some buyers to actually sTay in the house IF they put in sprinklers, sod, got rid of the weeds, put up nice fences, and LaNdsCapEd the yard! rEaLLy, the selfish thoughtlessness of these people . . . did they even rEaLizE what they were doing in terms of the tight competition for this gRoSsLy uNcoVetEd but nEceSsAry award within the neighborhood?! well . . . west & i bEcAme mOtiVatEd with a LaRge cApiTaL "M" . . . sprinklers are aLmoSt done, recovering the lawn from the morning glory and weeds . . . well, that will take a little longer. we'll keep ya'all posted;)
