Oh, man, Pirl and Pixie. I feel for you. I have a neighbor who mows his lawn, uses his leaf blower and chainsaw at the crack of dawn on Saturday mornings. He loves to watch me garden. I feel like I'm on display for him. I just keep planting tall bushes, slowly encasing myself in my own yard, creating a buffer between me and the neighbors.

Here's a pic of my other neighbor's yard as viewed from my back deck. You can see the trampoline and swingset are falling apart. Their kids are teenagers now. There's a circular dirt track in their backyard that the kids race their quads around and around, stirring up dust. Ugh. Those trees aren't growing fast enough. In general, they're nice people, but I don't want to get too chummy like you said Gram.
