Friday, Lee and I finally mustered up the courage to confront our neighbor about the leaves. She was friendly and apologetic, and said she was already planning to clean them up. “We just ran out of bags,” she explained. I wanted to point out that we live within walking distance of several stores that sell bags, and regardless, her lack of bags still did not justify putting the leaves on OUR property – but I refrained.
Today, to our delight, they cleaned up their mess, and even raked the alley/trash area so that it looks better now than before. We must’ve scared them. We’re pretty intimidating – right.
