It sound like you don't believe the rules and regulations you agreed to when you purchased your house apply to you.  Just because something was approved doesn't mean you don't have to maintain it to the community standard and you readily admitted that you have/had a hard time keeping up with needed maintenance due to not being able to get landscapers in.

It does not appear the association wants your meadow gone - they want it MAINTAINED and I'm sure most of your neighbors do too!

From a true conservative point of view, the neighbors' opinions about the OP are irrelevant. [b]The OP's meadow is private property. OP should be able to do what OP wants with the OP's private property, as long as it doesn't harm anybody.[/b] And "your meadow offends my aesthetic sensibilities" does not constitute harm. If the neighbors don't like the look of OP's meadow, they should offer to buy the lot from the OP.

This is why I (a liberal) don't live in a house with an HOA. I do what I want with my yard. My neighbors do what they want with theirs.[/quote]

You sound like yet another uneducated liberal. It is OP's private property - but she bought the property, which is within a homeowner's association, so she can't do whatever she wants with the property.  SHe agreed to certain standards - which BTW, "power-tripping" board members did NOT write.  The HOA rules were written by the developer under strict laws set by the state!

Other people bought in this HOA with the understanding that they as well as all homeowners would keep their property to a certain standard.  THey did not want to live next to a homeowner that mows the grass once a year - if that, or paves the lawn so the entire extended family can park off the street or is a hoarder and begins to store stuff outside or has three broken cars up on blocks on the driveway or decides to plant wildflowers and let's the property go "natural."

The neighbors should not have to buy the lady's weed garden out as the solution to the problem.  THe HOA needs to enforce the rules and this homeowner is required by contact to abide.

I certainly hope you're not as uneducated about issues if you vote, Buddy.  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:
