Bad Neighbors:

We have some neighbors who are terrible and couldn't care less. They are the worst ever that we have experienced. For two nights we have only gotten 4 hours sleep and that includes our fur family. They are shooting off guns until 1:00 AM and those who have talked to them about their behavior are only laughed at. The sheriff has his hands full with major crime and to get help there is going to be a real challenge. 

Our poor little April came into the bathroom and collapsed at 1:30 from exhaustion.- panting. These neighbors were setting off loud explosive fireworks for two nights until well after 1:00 AM plus shooting guns into God knows where. If into the ground we worry about ricochet and if into the air where are they coming down/ Either way they can do harm to people and property. From what I have learned these neighbors have been getting away with this for many years. 

I have been looking at  other houses on Zillo but we are just getting this house like we want it. We are old and moving is not something we want to do but these neighbors have been confronted by others we understand and then it only gets worse. We struggle to understand why people are like this especially in a neighborhood that only has 17 homes.

We also had plenty of people setting off fireworks well into the wee hours the last couple of nights. Of course, the sun doesn't set until nearly 10pm, so perhaps the shows running past midnight are a bit more understandable here. At any rate, since it only occurs a few nights a year, I figure that allowing them to enjoy their revelry without complaints is my chance to be a good neighbor to them. We all have habits that bother others. A little tolerance goes a long way. I made sure to bring them over some strawberries fresh from the garden in the morning. We can't change others, but we can change our own attitude toward others. It's easy to be kind to those who are kind. But we should still return kindness for rudeness.
