Wow, are these the ones that you grew from seeds. They are really big already.

Yep, grown from seeds. Started them in the Spring, put the young plants out along our fence once it warmed up. It took awhile for them to really get going, and even longer until the blossoms formed. But, once they blossomed the gourds grew quickly. Yes, we have a few that are about 18 inches (45 cm) or longer. It’s getting late in the season now, still many on the vines. They are supposed to be left on ‘til they die & dry up. I’ll finish the drying process by our heater.

Not so good morning...
being awakened by my neighbor hammering on the floors... ???
Now he’s using his cement feet.
Oh and let’s not forget the music ?!!
It’s 8:00am! And no one else is up but me and them???
I mean I swear, they act like I don’t egsist!!
That’s a hard pill to swallow cocidering I don’t give myself much notice either...
Do I egsist?
I KNOW I am not a mean person....
So why all the hatefulness from them?
Is it a game?
Do they want me to react in anger?
To see if I will say something ??
Anyway,
TO ALL WHOM EGSIST OUT THERE!!!
May YOUR day be merry and bright!!! ?

Maro2Bear,
Thank you.
Just thank you...
I swear to God I usually always look for the good in the bad !!!
.(...but when you first wake up it gets to you..)

You are so correct. Even the lady I work with used to say to me “
don’t let anyone steal your sunshine.” Or was it happiness??”

Thanks to you, I have already moved on and I’m smiling and looking out of a beautiful window where the sun is gleaming through. Again thank you so much for your advice (that I have now taken).
it’s not that I don’t get up early it’s that I don’t disturb others around me if they maybe need to sleep in late.
It’s just the disrespect that gets to me. ?

How mean of them. Go and get some worms (seen as how the early bird catches the worm) and then sneak the worms into their spaghetti!!!! ? ? ? They will never know. Only you will.;)

Here are two snaps of the dried loofah. I need to still shake the seeds out, probably give it a trim.

Ogh, like our next door neighbor’s lawn guy who decided that 0700 on Easter Sunday was a good time to cut the entire lawn & blow the grass about all morning long. Easter Sunday morning......for hours.

hahah!!! We should be neighbors!!
My neighbor had me up on Saturday at 6am from his two year old jumping off of the bed... then he started ripping nails out of the baseboards to his room around 8:30am. ( human no the sound and nail makes when you’re ripping it out of the baseboard)....(like an old creaky floor board).
then proceeded to nail up a wall and ( I can only assume )...hammer down new rug...?
Or bury the body??...
Didn’t God say treat everyone as you’d like to be treated yourself or something like that?
I guess they need to go to church more often ... (me too for that matter?)?

I used to rent a townhouse that had a shared stairwall! I know their son only weighed 30 pounds at most but he sounded like an elephant going up and down the stairs. THey were sweet and we both tried to keep the noise down and I will never share a wall or have neighbors like that again!

Oh wow how rude!
Bad enough it’s Sunday but seriously... Easter really?
I’m gonna start a thread about all the neighbors doings....?
Thank you for your story.
all of them make me feel so much better!!!
I always am so grateful for the fact that I barely know any of you and yet ...
You guys are the only ones to make me feel so much better all the time!
Thank you with all of my heart!!!!
I am sincerely sorry for what you went through though.... ?
I know I have to move but....
Covid
$$$$
And jobs (I am close to home)
Play a big part in moving....

Black dog....?
you just summed up my whole problem.
This is exactly what I am going through right now.
A while back my husband thought it was a smart idea since the market was good to buy a house cut it in half and make a side-by-side two family house. He is either never home for working or working outside on his cars or grass or whatever and this is what I have to deal with....
Again.....
T-shirt....
“For Sale or Rent”
Or even “FREE TO GOOD HOME!”-(comes with tortoise .) ??
