So we are trying to sell our house as we have found the "mountain" house of our dreams. Our property was listed Sunday, and we had FIVE showings today!!! Needless to say, I was busy trying to keep my two-year-old entertained outside the house all day, rather than finding time to take some photographs. I shot this right before bathtime...the old flower to the rescue!
The showings went well today. Everyone was impressed with the house, but negative remarks were made about the yard behind us: the home of the Shirtless Wonder. He gets his name because when the thermometer hits 50 degrees, shirts are optional. With such a demanding job as getting a tan all day, there is not time to pick up the CRAP strewn all across your backyard.
So this one is for you, Shirtless Wonder. Thank you for jeopardizing the sell of my home with your crappy yard. And here is to hoping this tree grows REALLY fast so I don't have to look your junk forever.
This is a great shot. I feel your pain. We have a neighbor who has been trying to short sell his house for two years and the foreclosure is taking forever. The value of our house has dropped about 70K because of them. I hope you get that home of your dreams!
If they really like the house they will buy. You can always ignore the neighbour even if he is bare! Send him a voucher for a fitness centre! This is such a pretty tree if it has flowers like this!
exciting news about the mountain house! Hope your house sale goes quickly - could always put a big fence to block the view, or a line of large-ish saplings!
Well good luck selling your home, we are getting prepared to sell ours also and it is stressful. Too bad you can't always choose your neighbors. The flowers look beautiful and relaxing.
This photo is gorgeous! When we built our house, we ended up paying for the new one and the old one for about a year until ours sold. Very stressful!! Ours wasn't the shirtless wonder, but very yucky neighbors nonetheless. Think a ridiculous number of trees, junk everywhere, and cow-sized dog poop ode de jour!!
Lovely shot, Caryn! I can empathize, truly. I have one great neighbor who owns the 10 acres to the right of me and to the left... well, when I had to call the sheriff's dept. a while ago, let me quote him. He said this so very apologetically to me... "Ma'am, they are just real redneck butt heads." They are mean as copperhead snakes and I just try to ignore them as best as I can and keep trimming the trees in my woods to grow thicker between my property line and theirs which is strewn with their trash!!!
Oh my goodness, I want to frame this and hang it on my wall. LOVE. FAV. I hope you get to acquire the mountain house of your dreams (and that there's no shirtless or pantless dude at the new place - hilarious)!
@ljm Funny that you say pantless. When we lived in Germany, a Russian family was building a house across the street from us. We had a really hot spell, and they DID work in just their underwear and t shirts. It was hilarious! I have photos of that somewhere.
