the bonus tracks of Spring

Little did I know, included with the purchase of our fence, came a theme song - a bonus track, if you will.
So that you can share the truest feeling for the setting of my following notes, click HERE for a quick listen to our new anthem. Maybe I should attach speakers to the fence posts and play this song, whenever the neighbors come out - considering all the problems our fence is causing.
The near 70 year old lady next door, was screaming at Steve so loud, that I could hear them from inside our house. She thought I had told her we were putting this fence ALL around our house - including across the front, along the sidewalk.
What the hell is up with that? We aren't creating Fort Apache here! She was shaking so bad, that her legs looked like they were doing their best impression of Elvis Presley (c.1957).
What this lady is really upset about, is that she cant sit on her back porch and be nosey about what we are doing anymore.
The neighbor on the other side (which is the side you see here in the picture) is mad we brought this fence closet to the property line. He feels he has too tight a squeeze to pull his trash can through. Then he proceeded to threaten Steve with "weeeell, we're just going to have a survey done". Steve advised him we had one done and which company did it for us. That should settle that.
The rain has showed up, and halted the building, so I will pop up more pictures as things progress.
For today, I would like to part on a more beautiful note. These are the crocuses (is that the correct word for plural crocus?) at the edge of my pond. Somehow, I always forget they are there. Now really, shouldn't these be the only Bonus Tracks of Spring?

oooo! Pretty crocuses! And aren't neighbors funny? Or annoying. Your pick. Have a safe trip to New Orleans, and enjoy Stella's restaurant! You'll have to let us know how it is.
