The trees just need to be more discreet. Really. a little discretion never hurt anyone
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

I really couldn't have dreamed up better neighbors. Brian's so funny, he'll go edge other peoples' yards, rake their leaves or prune things "because I'm out here and the messy bugs me." But he asked Anna if it was ok to prune some feelers off the city tree in front of her house and was all "I feel so weird actually ASKING. Wow!"

And Loki's home. He and Anna had a very good time. He even catnapped her (the thing where he sprawls the full length of your torso and enforces naptime.)
OK, one load of laundry down, sheets in the dryer.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I love your neighborhood, sarameg. J was out front of our house spreading mulch when he noticed a leak in the water meter pipe. Soon a dog-walker with 6 different dogs, the people across the street and their kids and various passers-by were all gathered and offering friendly advice and names of plumbers. We called the DWP and are waiting for them to come fix the problem.

Good neighborhoods make you love the humans.
And I like being a good neighbor. And find it really funny that I've become a neighbor that introduces people to each other.

It's so cool, sarameg. And YOU'RE so cool!

Aw, thanks. Coming from you means a lot. We're lucky.
And to think that seeing a bike on the porch next door and all the dogwalkers and parents and kids walking about on the 3 visits I made gave me the gut certainty I liked the neighborhood. I had NO idea.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I totally love sarameg's neighborhood and neighbs.

Best sleep aid, ever. Sadly mine won't do this on cue.

Because books.
My neighborhood isn't quite on sara's level yet, but it's definitely feeling comfortable with friendly, familiar faces, and lots of activity. There's nothing like a good 'hood to make you feel really at home somewhere.

Infants under six months are also good for this. It's the thing I miss most about the kids being babies.
