Unless I decide to head out across a corn field, I must walk past my neighbor's house to leave mine. They are nearly a quarter mile away but they are my closest neighbor. My neighbors and I were polite, talked once in a while and occasionally helped each other. We were not very close. After 15 years those neighbors moved to town.
So I walked by an empty house for several months. Then for a few months renters with two Lexus' lived there. I talked to them once. They moved and it was empty for a few months and then someone bought the property...new neighbors.
I decided I would be a good neighbor. I started with big waves and a smiles. I stopped to chat. Left some wine. They don't neighbor. I don't know their name and unless they decide to put it on the mail box I won't. I do know they are not country folks by birth. They own no four wheel drives and no trucks. I own one of each.
It's alright. I was never a very good neighbor. Caring Kim is the worst. She doesn't even wave or smile. I guess she cares for most things except neighbors.
