My suburban neighbors hate me. They hate:
1. The wood stove. (But SUV's are ok) - "I don't like the smell."
2. The sound of me splitting wood. ("Could you please do that another
time? I can't hear my program" - true story)
3. Building a shed. (Called the county on me dozens of times, but
heck, I can read. It's legal.)
4. Woodpile - neatly stacked, with a cover. ("That thing is so ugly -
you're going to burn it all this year, I hope.")
5. My now late and lamented 1988 Isuzu Trooper. ("Are you going to
KEEP that thing?")
6. My lawn. I hate grass. I won't put weed killer on it. I just have
to figure out a non-grass front yard.
7. Cedar shake on my house. ("You're not going to leave that wood on
there, are you? It's so ugly. Vinyl looks neater")
8. My garden. ("Those plants look so shaggy - can't you trim them?)
No, they're tomato plants. Tomato plants alwasy look shaggy.
I could go on...
