Changes are coming

The house nextdoor was vacant when we moved in, 8 years ago. I know who owns it, and she had used it to store hers and her mother's things. I peeked in one window once. Things were haphazardly stacked to the ceiling. Her son would come over and mow the front about once a month. Poison ivy was everywhere. A couple of weeks ago Bob said someone pulled up and looked around. Then the mail box on the other side of the street was down, laying in the ditch. He mentioned to the lady that owned it, and she said "It's not mine". For the second time this weekend a pickup is here with a horse trailer. The first time it was nearly dark and there were two or three other vehicles as well. In the daylight Saturday morning you could see a trash dumpster full of pizza boxes, and leaves and vines torn down. I hope they dispose of the poison ivy appropriately. I am nosy enough to want to know what is going on, but not rude enough to go ask them questions. I am assuming they are emptying the house. I hear noises, so I think they are filling this six horse trailer with salvage from inside. They have put up signs saying "private property". Eventually I will know what is happening, I guess. There will be fewer places for stray cats and dogs and local wildlife to hide. I hope in the end things turn out well. There is no way that house is habitable at this time. The garage is about to fall down as well.
