Sometimes I don't understand people

I have a neighbor, 
Last Spring she went on a total yard improvement project. She raked and cleared areas, planted grass, dug up a couple sections for flower beds, planted bushes and most notably fruit trees. She planted a row of peach, pear, and apple trees. The yard looked great, the flowers filled the beds,  and the fruit trees shot upwards. I watched as the fruit began to grow, not a little fruit either b u t loaded trees. Around the middle of August one of the apple trees was so loaded with fruit that the top section bent over, cracked and folded to the ground fruit intact. Here it is almost the end of September,  the lawn is immaculate, the flower beds clear of weeds and still in bloom. The fruit trees are still loaded with fruit, including the broken apple tree. Under the fruit trees lies all the rotted fallen fruit and the remains of the fruit on the trees are all brown, wrinkly,  and rotted.

Why all the care and concern for the grass and flowers but not an inkling of care for the foliage that actually gives you something back. Piles of fruit gone to waste, and the broken bent section still alive wet draped on the ground. I am pretty lazy myself, but at the price of fruit trees I at least would have lift the broken section up, tied it and put in wood posts to steady it so it could mend.
