New Neighbors

Our new neighbors still have some moving in to do... they had these big red boxes delivered this afternoon .... I guess if you aren't ready to move you can store them in these and then someone comes and picks them up and delivers to your new home...then you unpack them and they come back and pick them up.... It doesn't seem like they are very anxious to open them though. Wonder what that is all about??? They have a dog..... a big puppy so I hear them say. The puppy barks and barks everytime I let my dogs out so of coarse they bark back. They can see each other under the privacy fence the neighbors have.... their "puppy" likes to dig and he tried to dig under both fences through the stones etc... he gave up and went under the fence on another side.... he tried to come over but he found out he couldn't.. the guy got some rabbit fencing and put it under the fence where there was room to crawl under.... The man has a really really loud voice and I hear a lot of what he says.... he was laughing about the dog eating the flowers and then this morning he was braging to someone on the phone that he had a beautiful house and yard... he said there were lots of wild flowers in the back and it was beautiful..... wonder for how long --- hehe.... It will be interesting anyway and soon there will be a pattern so I will know when I can sit out on my patio again and watch the birds and read and just sit and be quiet again.... Hope it doesn't take too long.
Yesterday I got 4 more bags of mulch so today I spread it in the flower gardens that I cleaned up... It really looks good but I have a long way to go. When I sit on the front porch the cocoa bean mulch smells wonderful.
   I worked on my afghan for awhile today and paid the bills and watered the front and back --- I finished reading all my books so I went to the library tonight and got 4 more --- I hope they are good. So now I have something to read when I'm sitting outside. Oh, I fed the birds too and noticed we are out of finch food so tomorrow we will get some of that.  The birds are so used to me now they think I'm just another fixture in the yard I guess. I saw a group of ducks last night already. Do they know something I don't know? Surly fall isn't around the corner yet... I would like some more of these beautiful days so I can just go out and sit comfortably.... it's really been nice around here.
Hope it't the same by you, Sandra

The weather may change and the styles may change but "noisy neighbors" never change  lol I have one of those myself. As Dad from the tomatoe garden  says its best to "smile" but its kindly hard ain't it?

Its  still hot in south texas. Hope your neighbor tones his voice down some and his dog learns to behave. It is kind of stressful to get new neighbors not knowing exactly how they will be. Paula

I hope you neighbors turn into good neighbors once they get all unpacked and settled.

I hope these new neighbors are nice.  I sure would like it if I had you for a neighbor !  Young people seem to be a little louder in general than they used to be but, hopefully still nice. I haven't got much time to enjoy this summer.  My backyard has been a mess since the beginning of July.  Maybe another week that painter will be out of here.  It's been so hot here that the a/c inside feels good !
