She was expecting company for the eclipse. Probably power washing the driveway.

I just read the rest of the Eclipse post.

I'll bet she's parting like it's 2017!!!

I am very concerned about that punk neighbor, though.

She had a great time. Toyed with the neighbors ;-) I told her to get over here!

OK I m here,

Yes as pre planned my friends came and we really messed with the neighbors because OF COURDE they were watching up and we were set up right in the open by their fence in y yard. It was actually kind of fun messing with them. Log story.

Anyway tables have turned on the punk kid. NOW the sheriff is giving them a taste of what he was doing to me. Sheriff did go back and talked to grandparents and had made them turn on the big bright light on the back shed where kid was going to hide and spy on me and now the kid is like a deer in the headlights. I can see when he is there just looking out my back window. I got all this information from my friend that works in dispatch that took my my call and she told me the kid pissed the deputy off and now they are all out to get him. They will swing into the their road nightly to be sure the light is on or any time they are not busy. Since it is couple houses off the highway it is a quick check. BUT they live on a dead end road so the sheriff cars have to turn around in front of their house every time. She told me they were so pissed. I do not know if I told about the rock throwing for 2 hours at my house from 11PM to 1:30 in the morning. Kid was damaging my house and the sheriff told him if anything happens again they will press charges on him. They also told him they advised me to get a civil protection order against him. So chit has hit the fan and that kid will be sorry he has been messing with me. I do not get mad I get even. Really the deputies are all sticking together on this one and she told me they will take this punk down.

I have not done any thing exciting other then prepare for the people to come and trying to get some control over my yard. Anything else I might have done I have already forgotten. LOL I did spend some time cleaning up my studio for the extra guest since I only have one guest room and needed two. Lots of extra time spent with Jacks the new doggie.

Now company has come and gone I need to go back to painting the house. I have n issue on the east side which I wanted to do. Scratch that as right now the bees are thick in the lemon balm and I am deathly allergic to honey bee stings. So I will either do the west side or the back side and wait until the weather cools to paint in the lemon balm area. I did buy three gallons of paint then a few days later it came on sale so got a price adjustment and bought 5 more gallons saving me 24 dollars and hopefully I now have enough paint to finish. If not it will be close.

Otherwise life is same old same old. And Thanks for your concerns.

It looks lovely from here! So do the all you folks.

I love the sunshades!

Aw thanks Caroline. I am so glad I invited them. Another meet some one on the internet that turn out to be lovely people. Total strangers but no more. I know scary but I was less afraid of them than the creepy grandson.

What has this neighbor's grandson been doing? I think you said since March? And much more importantly what can the cops and the legal powers-that-be do to stop his behavior, move him away, lock him up, or whatever?

What does his grandparents have to say about it all? Why do they continue to let him stay there since he is terrorizing you.

This is just way too scary.

First he has made sexual advances towards me which make me sick. he is 20 years old. I would not care if he was my age I am not interested. But a 20 yer old does not speak to a woman the way he spoke to me. so I told grandparents I did not want him to come over here. Then he has been stalking me from his side of the fence but following me around when I am out in the yard. I have obviously done every I possible can to block his views. THEN a couple weeks ago he was throwing rocks at my house in the middle of the night for over 2 hours. NOW the sheriff can charge him for physical damage to my property. The rocks put some pretty god divots in my siding. The grandparents do nothing their grand son would not do these things but he did and was caught. The sheriff made it clear they are watching him I was terrified to gout in my yard at night. I have no other close neighbors and could scream my head off if this kid got a hold of me and I think he is cry enough to do so. The sheriff said I have gone through enough and they will do all they can to get it stopped. I hear on the scanner t night when they drive by to check o things. NOW the kid will get a taste of what he was giving me. Since the grandparents are enabling him they are also trying to make them see the light too. Screwed up family.

OH I am going to try to find a fog horn to blow to carry at night and I also told grandparents I would be calling them in the middle of the night when the kid is bothering me the next time if it happens again. Bit I would call the sheriff first. Let him tell them.

the fog horn is a good idea! a can of mace too.

Every time I look at your porch, I wish it was mine.

Thank you Imhappy.

I actually am using it a lot more now I have it pretty and most important comfortable with the three recliners. We were sitting out here this morning in the cool. I also like to sit out here in the evening with my lap top and enjoy the evening coolness. Still way too hot in the afternoons though.
