I was emotional, selfish, and just generally struggling with the voices in my head...
I so wish I were a different person some days...
Life has been busy helping out mom in law and juggling home stuff.
Yesterday when I was home between PT exercises with Mom in law I noticed a car parked in the grass of our front yard.
Directly across the stree from our home is a home that has sat abandoned for a year and a half. Lately there has been a flurry of activity...so we figured the bank was finally ready to put it back on the market. This house has a massive pull through driveway - I point this out because yesterday a realator decided to park in my front yard instead of the massive driveway of the house he was checking out...
I have no problem when we park on the grass or when friends come over and park on the grass...I really don't...however I think it is really rude for a complete stranger to decide its ok to park on my lawn...Does that make me unreasonable? (wouldn't be the first time)
So I decided to go out and politely ask him to not park in our lawn...
Which I did - I smiled and said "Hi! I would appreciate it if you wouldn't park on our lawn, if you need a place to park you are welcome to park in our driveway" He had his laptop out and was on the speaker phone...he responded by saying "I tick people off no matter what I do" - Being taken back with his response to my very reasonable request I replied "I'm not ticked off I'm asking you nicely" he had begun to pull off and I heard the person on the phone ask what was happening to which he replied "oh someone is mad because I was barely on some of their grass" - I went back home thinking "what an ass!"
10 min later he knocked on my door and apologized and told me about what was happening with the house across the street...
Hours later I noticed the conditions looked good for a possible sunset photo...
I grabbed my camera and headed west into Ridgefield. Jeff and I ride by some rasperry fields with some massive oak trees on the edge and I was hoping to get a shot of them in the evening light.
It is a challenge taking pictures because there isn't always a place to park and sometimes it on someones private property...
I found a place to pull off and I noticed the private property signs and while I was so tempted to walk past them I did not. I deliberatly stayed behind them as I shot. However Miss SUV was not amused when she drove by and told me to get off of her property...she said "our property our trees, I'm tired of people using them" Ok - can't argue with that...
I guess what goes around really does come around...

So what is going on with the house across the street??? This is a great post btw!
ReplyDeleteThe bank is ready to put it up so they have contacted various realtors to look through it and tell them what they think regarding pricing etc. He said they people took everything that wasn't nailed down (appliances etc) and his recommendation would be to fix the place up before trying to sell it. We will see...
