Help with painting, lawn mowing or whatever? <br /><br />At one time, a lady was renting the house one house down from me. It turned out she didn't have a lawn mower. Another neighbor mowed her lawn for her. I don't know if Tom charged her, or just took an occasional fiver for gas, but her lawn was taken care of.<br /><br />The ObserverThe Observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17696168395133075354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773175694027086382.post-57008294568393063832010-02-02T11:10:35.584-06:002010-02-02T11:10:35.584-06:00Dear The observer,

People would garden to match. I loved a purple house, loathed a toothpaste colored house, and admired a blue house with red and yellow tulips along the front walk.<br /><br />Lovely. And I agree that if we took time to know people, these little things would assume their proper importance.<br /><br />Ann T.Ann T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11128699035211561119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773175694027086382.post-30898698061857842742010-02-01T19:11:48.858-06:002010-02-01T19:11:48.858-06:00Capt.

I live in a HOA area, but it seems the city regs have more pull. The HOA just encourages tattling to the Action Line.<br /><br />The ObserverThe Observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17696168395133075354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773175694027086382.post-80928004420552558072010-01-30T20:07:13.026-06:002010-01-30T20:07:13.026-06:00The paradox of individual rights vs. the right of ...The paradox of individual rights vs. the right of the populace to have a good "quality of life". I deliberately chose to live in a neighborhood that does not have a HOA because I have authority issues. However, the town where I live does have some quality of life ordinances.<br /><br />The neighbor lady painted her house a rather loud green which upset many in the neighborhood. I was mildly annoyed until she told me that the color was her deceased husband's favorite. <br /><br />Suddenly, It didn't bother me anymore. She recently passed and her kids painted it a more neutral color. I kinda miss the green.<br /><br />Maybe we would all be more tolerant if we knew our neighbors better.<br /><br />Great post Mr. Observer.Capt.
