It would be great if they notified us (via tiny sign?) that the old things were being removed within a day or so - so that we could come and get some of the stuff that was still looking perfectly good.
I believe that "they" pay attention to the seasons, and maybe the heat and place flowers that weather the temperature.

If "they" did all of the things that everyone wanted them to do, that would cost in money and manpower and I like this place run just the way it has been run for the last sixteen years.

I don't want "striped grasses". The plants they plant are never SCRAWNY but they do get bigger as the time continues. I like things just the way they are. BEAUTIFUL.
