My controversial garden plot

A letter was attached to my front door today, March 16, 2010, from the town manager, telling me i have to remove my wood chairs (2) and wood easels and small wood bookshelf where i store my garden tools and art supplies; and that the purpose for my garden plot is ONLY for gardening. I guess that means: no sitting on a chair is allowed and no painting at an easel is allowed. Sound a little ridiculous to you, too?
