My fishes are finally safe.

My backyard pond has been terrorized several times by feral (or not) neighborhood cats.  I have tried to put sonic deterrent and chemical deterrent but still they come and murder/eat my precious goldfish.  So I resort to putting a chicken wire over the pond.  It looks horrible and changing water is a big hassle, but at least my fishes are safe from the predators.  This is the damage to the pond I saw one morning.  It is obvious that the predators tried really hard to get to the fish but the wire kept them at bay.  The wire is all dented down by their weight and they took their frustration on my decorative lily.  Better the fake lily than my fish.  I finally got you beat horrible cats.

In Memories to those who serve!

My nasty next door neighbor

 The is the backyard of my nasty neighbor.  He is fat and too lazy to do any yard work.  Unfortunely, too poor to hire a gardener either.

This is the side of his house next to my garage.  The fence is a 4 foot chain link one and I could see all the mess and nastiness.

It is their home and they can do or not do anything about it.  My only option is a solid 6 feet tall privacy fence so I do not have to see this mess and nastiness.   SIGH.....
