Shoutout to my neighbor Betty for pointing out my overgrown boxwoods

I was out watering my lawn last Tuesday and Betty walks by with her dog. She says "you know those bushes are hiding your whole porch right?" I laughed it off but then I really looked at my house. Those boxwoods were probably 4 feet tall and just swallowed up the front door area. So I went at them with some hedge trimmers and cut them back to like 2 feet. Now my porch actually shows and the house looks bigger. Has anyone else had that moment where a neighbor just casually fixes your whole curb appeal with one comment?

Had a neighbor tell me my mailbox looked like it was growing a beard once. Turns out it was just a giant clump of dead vines. Did me a favor honestly, now I actually check before I back out of the driveway.

Man that's a solid trick. I started keeping a piece of reflective tape on mine after I nearly clipped it with my own trailer.
