through my open window

due to the remodeling going on at my house. i have had to move my computer into my dining room which is now my living room until my real living room is finished. the only logical place to put the computer was in front of the windows looking out to the street in front of my house. from this vantage point i am able to observe my neighborhood. i have to tell you my neighborhood is quite a happening place.

as i type this my neighbor to the left of me is pulling weeds in her side yard. when i work in my yard i prefer the kneel and pull method of weed removal. but my neighbor is currently in the bend and pull position with her rump pointed toward the street. ladies this is not a flattering position especially as we get older.

my across the street neighbor man to the left has just backed a rather large flatbed trailer into his back yard, which is protected by a privacy fence. what he has back there i do not know but i have my suspicions. i know there is a hot tub back there. before he put the privacy fence around the whole yard he just had one in the corner of the yard around his hot tub. on a regular basis you could see him and his wife trot out in their bathrobes and disappear behind the fence. we could let our imaginations run wild but i think we should move along and let them enjoy their privacy.

across the street and to the right we have my neighbor lady enjoying her first cigarette of the day....and her first hacking my lungs out coughing fit. now that their children have grown up and moved out they are a very quiet couple. about the only excitement they get into is when she decides its time to clean out the garage and they pull everything out into the yard. they then look at it for a few hours and then put it all back. this happens about twice a year. of course when they do this everybody driving by stops and asks if they are having a garage sale.

last but not least we have my neighbor lady to the right. she is the neighborhood nudist. she is in her 70's and likes to check the mail in her bra and panties. its quite a sight...let me tell you. the children have learned to not let their eyes stray into her yard for fear of what they might see. once again ladies as we get older certain positions are just not recommended. thankfully she stays indoors most of the time.

we have come to the end of my neighborhood tour. i poke fun but i have to admit i like my little corner of the world and all my neighbors are good hard-working people. we have our little eccentricities but then who doesn't. so if you will excuse me i have a large chicken wire sculpture of the easter bunny i need to finish.
