RIP Morning Glories

So today, our morning glories got hacked to death by a man with a machetti.... and no I'm not lying....

The Landlords hired a relative to take care of the lawn while they are away for the summer and he hacked our morning glories to pieces with - no lie - a machetti.

Mom and I kept hearing this annoying noise outside and didn't know what it was and then when she went to see what or who it was causing all the noise, she found him cutting our morning glories down. He said he didn't know they were flowers (they were just starting to climb) and tried to assure mom with his thick accent that they would grow back, when we know full well that it took 3 months for those suckers to grow from seeds, and that they arent coming back. There were a few stragglers nearest the fence that managed to escape their death, but all in all we were left with a pile of mutilated morning glories...

So goodbye morning glories... I had fun watching you grow while it lasted...
