YES, this is exactly my present case. Our mower walked away and hasn't come back for whatever reason I have no idea. We thought we had this all worked out before we left. People complain about short staffing in restaurants and big box stores, etc.. Well I can tell you for a fact that finding someone to SHOW UP and cut your grass (as a snowbird, particularly) is next to impossible from 1000 miles away. Did I mention weeds; no one wants to pull weeds. I have made countless phone calls of late. Some promise to show up but never do and the process begins anew ad infinitum - very frustratng and exhausting.

My point is, assuming your neighbor is remiss is an assumption that may be unwarranted. A neighborly phone call/text/email would be in order, upon the assumption that they may be unaware.

Incidentally, if you or anyone has any suggestions for mowing in Tall Trees, I'm all ears ... thanks
