Should I Be Offended?

Despite how close the homes around us are, you hardly ever hear or see any of our neighbors. The least private part of our house is our kitchen, because we have large windows and no trees blocking our view. These windows look toward the mountains and also toward our neighbors house.

Today, as I was feeding B lunch a tree started moving along our fence. Our fence is pretty high, so I am guessing the tree has to be about 12 feet-surely costing a pretty penny. The tree came to rest squarely between our kitchen window and our neighbors kitchen window. I sat there thinking about what that tree was really saying, when along came another tree just to make really sure that all areas between our kitchen and theirs were effectively covered.

I guess what I am really wondering is should I be offended, or relieved that now I don't have to worry about not walking around in my skivvies? Really, I should have just taken more advantage of my snooping opportunities and spent my days watching their every move!

funny!...the neighbor previous called us to cut down the hedge that we had purposely left high in that area for privacy, because she couldn't see our back door and kitchen...at least she was honest! congrats on privacy again! aren't these the same neighbors that asked if you would cut down some other trees along the wall...funny, funny, funny!

that is funny my mom posted that comment. the first thing i thought of when i read your post was a time that the same "neighbor previous" called my house to say "art, i just saw you kissing your wife." guess with those new trees now you are guaranteed to not get a similar phone call. :)

?? strange!

Neighbors can be so odd. We once had a neighbor tell us that she enjoyed watching us through our windows... ??

Needless to say we made sure the blinds were closed later.
