I know I promised an update, but it is more pressing matter for me to vent about one of my stupid neighbors. Not sure if I mentioned it, but we have been working hard on our yard to make it a nice place. We roto-tilled, trenched, put in sprinklers and seeded the front yard. The little grass sprouts make me excited every time I see them.
Anyway, I was out in the back adjusting the sprinklers and they were spraying on the fence. All of the sudden my neighbor says, "I'm not going to put up with your sprinklers spraying into my yard." I responded that I was adjusting them right then and had no intention of having them spray on the fence.
My husband heard her harassing me and came over to ask her what the problem was. She then went into this long tirade about how we are the worst neighbors, and how my husband is always yelling at me (completely false), and then goes on and on about how she is going to take us to court to force us to have our tree removed from the backyard. By the way, our 2 backyards back up to each other so she wouldn't ever had to deal with us if she didn't want to.
This woman is completely crazy. It seems like we can never work in our backyard without her harassing us. I told her repeatedly that if we couldn't have a civil conversation that we should stop talking. She would not shut up, so I finally stopped adjusting the sprinklers and turned off the water. I will have to do it sometime when she is not around.
Actually, I think I will go over and talk to her about minding her own freaking business. That will have to wait until I'm not so mad though.

Makes you want to adjust them to spray right in her crabby face, doesn't it?!
I am sorry you've got a cranky neighbor. I do hope things smooth out soon!
What a pain! I would tell her to mind her own business next time.
Lovely. I dislike most of my neighbors too... if I could afford it I'd have a privacy fence instead of a chain link! Or better yet... I'd move to the country and not have neighbors. Ugh... she sounds like a rip.
