Nothing. Our neighbors are not close, in proximity or otherwise.

@Mom2Dogs Just for the heck of it I would wave and yell hello every time I saw them.

Construction, construction, and construction dust. Bulldozers, pickup trucks, cement trucks, and people working very hard. I just moved into a brand new development with lots of building going on.

One was right out the LR window and has Petunia all twitterpatted.
She was sitting on the windowsill when it mooed. She has never seen a cow that close.

2 weeks ago I had about 13 come through the yard as I was going down the driveway. I stopped and waited. There were cows, several large calves and the bull.

P.S., he doesn't fix his fences.

We've had this happen too with neighbors' cows getting out, and then having all the "cow pies" all over our yard!

@Mom2Dogs

you must live near me!!! I never knew that my one neighbor "watches" all day long. Recently, we were at a function & I said "I go crazy being home" she stated "you're never home I see your car in & out a lot".

Then, of course, there's another group who sits outside from 8am til dinner time..they watch & gossip all day...

like you I feel like I can't even go outside (front yard) even to get mail when "all eyes on me!"...yup a fishbowl for sure. (Somedays I do wave😉).

I have neighbors who keep building onto their house. They've added an addition, another garage, a patio out back, and landscaping. Now there's framing beside the added garage. What they've spent has cost more than the value of the original house and they haven't much, if any,

yard area left.

Spring/warm weather brings just about everyone out in my neighborhood. Neighbors are cleaning up/mowing lawns/planting. The kids are out on their bikes and skateboards. Young Moms and Dads out walking with their children in strollers and wagons. The ice cream man drives down my street around 3:30pm every day. Neighbors across the street getting a new front porch. And I enjoy taking it all in as I sit in one of my rockers on my porch. I love my neighborhood. ❤

@CrazyKittyLvr2 That is still going on? I thought I heard that story before but didn't recognize your name until you mentioned Petunia. Hope she doesn't start mooing too.

Isn't there anything that could be done?

@Mom2Dogs and @homedecor1 you might not need your security system. They are just guarding the neighborhood.

I know I wouldn't like it.

@homedecor1 Neighbors in my BF's neighborhood are like that. They all gossip about one another. One weekend, a few years prior to my moving in, I pulled in with a bunch of boxes in my SUV. The one across the street told everyone I was moving in since she saw boxes...................our office was relocating and I had boxes of office supplies to donate to the battered women's shelter in the area.

I rarely go out of the house for the same reason that you do. Fishbowl.
