I say get LOUD! get PROUD! go to the association. put up a sign. PRIVATE PROPERTY KEEP OUT! powder the rocks with itching powder. put up a bees nest. start keeping bees for the honey. Once that ugly truck gets parked there, call the cops tell them a truck is parked illegally in a neighborhood and is cracking the soft drive way. They will come tow it. Write down his license plate and on days he isnt in town, go to the local law enforcement and file a complaint. plant poison ivy around the deck, and porch. and thorns! I have a row of thornes going down the right of way behind my house. When anyones car drives down in the winter you can hear the screeeeeeech as it rips into the paint. HA! They ignore the DEAD END signs. they ignore the PVT prop tag on the street sign. They ran over my prize rose bushes then stole other bushes. I feel terrorized here too.

We are currently looking at other houses. This is just silly. The rich folks up the street have huge loud parties and think nothing about the smoke or fire that they are not watching. Fireworks aimed at the woods behind our house. Traffic that parks up and down the street. There are folks wandering in my yard most days and think my perfect organic garden is a free for all. I see kids sucking on fresh tomatoes as they walk by, and moms with 8 zucchini under their arms. Walkers with baskets of blackberries, and little kids with folded shirts full of strawberries. I am NOT a public park! just not! I dont want to be a public park. I dont want to stand guard in my yard all day either. I just want to enjoy what I worked and paid for without having to share it with those that think everything in life is free.

The point of my rant was that I am extremely hypersensitive due to MS. I am distrubed by the visual noise of folks constantly walking by. The audio noise of kids screaming. The physical energy it takes to clean up what they destroy. During the spring and summer months here I am a walking bundle of "GET AWAY FROM ME!" I know kids are just being kids, but its the adults that need to step up and be their own baby sitter.
