Dummm.


Maybe not.

Maybe she likes an un-mowed yard. I tutored a gal in college, lived in town. Let the yard go. Neighbors complained, she told the authorities it was a wildflower garden.

Or, maybe she plans on getting goats and sheeps?

Sounds like 3 acres is more rural. I could care less if the neighbors mow their 3 acres, except for the fire danger. Around here it keeps most people honest.

I'm surprised at some of the comments here about neighbors. I like my neighbors and know that they will help out when needed and it's a reciprocal arrangement. My German immigrant neighbor who got here and NEVER wants to go back has taken me to coffee to meet his compadres from the Sheriff's Posse. The other neighbor has had us over for holiday meals and vice versa.

There's one set of problem neighbors next to the German fellow, and the 'hood has been working on getting them to straighten up their act. German guy and I have sat across from the Sheriff at his desk and explained some issues. Neighbor lady behind them, who also owns the house on the other side of them and has her kid and grandkids in that one, has contacted an attorney to sue the landlord if scheidt doesn't change soon. The landlord has given them notice to clean up the place, there's an extra dumpster out front getting filled, so maybe it's working.

If I lived in town, it's likely my attitude towards neighbors would change. Having them all 100+ yards away out here helps a lot
