Violation of the Protective Covenants.....

So, this is the first time that Nick and I have ever lived in a subdivision where you have to deal with the whole HOA sort of stuff. I have to admit it is nice having a pool and playground but sometimes dealing with HOA gets on my nerves. On Thursday we got a letter in the mail from our HOA regarding a violation of the Protective Covenants. Our violation that we have been wrote up for is the area around our mailbox needs to be weeded.

Uuugghh.....annoying!! When I read the letter I couldn't stop laughing because at the time this is what our yard looked like......yes the weeds up front are almost as tall as Davis!!

And this is what the area around the mailbox looked like.....not to bad!

Now I agree we probably deserved to get written up but if you are going to write us a violation then you better do it right or else I am going to think that there is something wrong with your vision!!

Anyway, to make a long story short Nick and I are not yard people in fact we both HATE it!!! I mean it is not fun at all to me and I can find much better things to do with my time that I enjoy. I wish that Nick would just listen to me and we would pay someone to come and do it! But we are taking this violation very serious and we are still going to go and buy some wood chips and hopefully next weekend we are going to pull out all of our old pine straw and lay down wood chips. I will post some pictures of our HARD work when it is finished!! But here is Nick's sweat and hard work today.....BEAUTIFUL!!
