I live in a house in the suburbs of a large American city. I have next door neighbors on both sides and up and down the tree lined street. My neighbor, Mark, is a landscape architect, well I suppose that may be the reason why he doesn’t talk to me. I never do landscaping of any kind, I just try to control Nature. A little bit. Trim and shape.
Nicely done. Good observations. When I grew up (Oregon, still here) we talked to 90% of the neighbors even stepping into each others' homes sometimes. But then it changed. People drew their blinds, stayed inside. Sad development. Now I live in a friendly neighborhood. We wave and say hi. We don't play cards or host each other.
Thank you, Rohn for the story and pictures from your life... to make me think about this subject. Do you wonder if the neighbor white board teacher, queen of the ball has safe boundaries and makes safe choices? Your place and neighborhood looks nice and your earthiness comes through in your choices of sleeping outdoors and your landscaping. Your story is grounding! Thank you <3
