Death Sentence

We are very depressed.

DCWASA announced that in the coming weeks they would tear up our front yard flower garden to replace the lead pipe from the water main that runs down the center of A Street SE to our property line, which apparently runs through the middle of our front yard. [In DC, property lines often have no reasonable relationship to curbs or sidewalks; in the older parts of Capitol Hill the property line is the building line--the front steps and bay windows sit on public property!]

It was hard to keep watering and we skipped fertilizing though it was time.
