New Neighbors Gifts

New around here?

New neighbours

"Pack your bags and cancel your plans. The neighbors invited us to dinner and I told them we'd be out of town."

'I see the new neighbours drive a battered old Skoda. I do hope they're scum and not inverse snobs..'

'You should see what they're doing next door - it's disgusting,'

'The Purbrights aren't snobs, they're birdwatchers.'

"We found the poor thing stranded on the beach last summer and decided to adopt it."

'I wouldn't say this wine's name is long, but it's continued on the bottle next to it.'

'Isn't that cute! They're thanking us.'

...And he calls himself the 'Green' Giant...

"I don't know why you always have to choose the same hide-and-go-seek hiding spot that I do, Tommy!"

"Hey, the neighbors just installed a new wifi router."

'Good news. I found where the termites have been living.'

'We like the occasional drink on the patio.'

"First I drink, then I barbecue — that's my secret."

"We really need more perennials? Aren't my weeds and crabgrass enough?"

"First time pruning?"

"See? And you said you couldn't work from home."

'Why can't my walks be that fun?'

Picking pastries.

"We thought we would come somewhere remote to self-isolate."

"Maureen Alsop is leaving her magnolia, and her delphinium and her cats with us this weekend."

"No, our home wasn't stolen. Since it's a 'smart home', it keeps having itself moved to a nice neighborhood."

Canape?

"Maybe we should have brought a Riesling."

'So glad you could make our vegetarian BBQ.'

Neighbor Leaf Wars

“Sweet mother of Marmaduke... no!”

"He loves his leaf blower."

Every so often, Madeline gets carried away.

Annoying neighbours - irritating wind chimes

'Darn those neighbors. A cookie's missing.'

"Has the Wi-Fi seemed slow to you lately?"

To be honest, I'd just as soon as lay in the yard, but he so looks forward to it.

'This is the BEST well we've dug!!'
