Hm, so what types of neighbors do you have?

Since we're so far out in the country... we have only two other properties that adjoin ours, and both houses are over 3/4 of a mile from ours.

- A nice young couple renting my brother's house (he had to relocate to Nevada for work).

- An very nice, ancient couple (late 70s)... the owners of the Lyon Ranch.

Once and awhile when the wind is right... we can hear music from a neighbor almost 2 miles away... amusing 'cause he listens to Classic 80s Rock /Pop.

The SOUNDS we normally hear from neighbors... cows lowing, goat-bells clanking, and the occasional tractor-puttering.

I have the what I like to call "younger generation neighbors" across the street.. young couple starting a family I like them a lot. To my left I have the "retired neighbors" the type as a kid if me and my buddys stepped in their lawn we would have the police threatened to be called on us. To my right I have the same type of family as mine. Kids finished with college looking to find a job in this terrible economy so they have no job and still live with mom and pop (like myself).

The constant DIY-ers (but only in Summer when the weather is lovely and you actually go into the garden to enjoy the quiet - that's when they strike)

in the apartments, and the condo down the block, some seniors, and lots of little kids. me and my faction are their guardian angels ! one lady has a nice lunch for us at the tables outside on saturdays . i love her, ha ha ha !

Mine are all on section 8 and have more kids than they can afford. Essentially, I pay part of their rent while I barely get by.

Besides the annoying dogs, I've only met one. She was nice.
