Yes, this is what you think it is. The lilac bushes in front of the neighbors fence have been hacked down to unrecognizable stumpy bushes. I know that the bushes did need to be pruned - but hacked down to this? And the timing - right before they bloomed this year. Now, according to some sources, we won't get blooms for another 2-3 years. Why oh why couldn't this wait until next fall - when they don't have any leaves and look pretty much like this anyway?
Here is a shot from across the street. When I stand next to them, they come about to shoulder height.
Close up of the hide out. I use to hide out there when I was a child, and my children have been hiding out there now. It will grow back, it will grow back.

Shocking! What will May be without all those beautiful lilacs in bloom?! Very sad!
We like our neighbors...but this is very upsetting.
From the neighbors who have been watching these lilacs bloom since we moved to Burley in 1966, and into the house by them in 1971.

Oh no! How sad!!! I wonder what was the reason behind all this.
AAUUGGGG - the great hiding places!!! How could they take them away??!!! What crazy timing - just before bloom season??! That is weird! It's just like a bad hair cut, it will grow, it will grow, it will grow!!
How very,very sad indeed. :(
