THEY ARE ONLY FLOWERS, you say.
But these are not. These blossoms are for my daughter’s wedding.
This photo shows several stems missing their blossoms.
And some time Friday night or early Saturday morning, someone ripped about a dozen hydrangea from the massive bushes next to my front door.
Hydrangea blossoms scattered across my yard in a deliberate act of vandalism.
Am I angry? Yes. Especially when I saw the blossoms scattered across my lawn and on the side street next to my house.
The hydrangea were also dropped in the street.
This was clearly an act of vandalism, not the act of someone who wanted a fresh bouquet of flowers.
I live along Willow Street, one of Faribault’s busiest streets. If you saw anyone lurking near my front door ripping Annabelle hydrangea from bushes, call me, email me, stop by.
Yes, plenty of blooms still cover the bushes. For that I am grateful.
But should this happen again, be ware the Mother-of-the-Bride.
As long as I’m on the subject of respecting other people’s property, Faribault residents, do not allow your dogs to run loose and poop in my yard. I do not appreciate stepping in your pet’s poo. There are ordinances in this city regarding roaming dogs.
Just like there are laws against vandalism and theft.
