- The Mister: As I was putting the trash out, Mr. Neighbor Man yelled across the yard to me.
- Me: Yelled what?
- The Mister: He said, "I see you're feeding the skunks again!"
- Me: Feeding the skunks? What? What did you say?
- The Mister: I didn't say anything! I just waived and kept walking.
- Me: Are you kidding? Why didn't you ask what he meant by that?
- The Mister: Because I didn't care and I didn't want to talk to him!
- Me: Oh geesh, I want to know what that was supposed to mean! I haven't seen any skunks since last fall. And the last ones I saw were living under his deck!
- The Mister: I suppose the only thing he could possibly be referring to is that he has seen a skunk eating spilled seed under our bird feeder.
- Me: Well, I haven't seen one...that squirrel is the only thing out there besides the birds. So do you think he is blaming us for his skunks?
- The Mister: Probably. But it's not our fault he has a skunk living under his deck! We've taken care of all the feral cats in the neighborhood. He can take care of the skunks.
For anyone who may not know, Mr. Neighbor Man is known
to do irritating things like peek in our window, hang his
underwear on the clothesline right in our view, park his
truck off of his driveway, too close to our house, run his
tractor onto our property, etc, etc. Not exactly our
favorite neighbor. lol....and I admit that we have
become Mr and Mrs Kravitz, watching out the kitchen
window to see what irritating thing his is up to now. haha.

Now that's funny!! LOL
ReplyDeleteThe part about the skunk, or that we've become the Kravitz'? haha.
DeleteBoth!
DeleteAside from the "stinky" conversation, I love your coffee canister and lid.
ReplyDeleteNothing like a fresh bag of beans! Yum!
DeleteHe sounds like a nosy trouble-maker with not enough to do in his day.
ReplyDeleteYes.
DeleteLike the narrative . . .
ReplyDeleteSomehow I think you might have had a longer conversation with your neighbour . . . lol
I just laugh that The Mister waved and kept walking! lol....
DeleteJust looked up Mr and Mrs Kravitz . . . please don't change to look like her . . . . hahaha
DeleteDid you ever watch Bewitched? :)
DeleteNo . . . heard of it though . . :)
DeleteWatched a couple of episodes on You Tube . . :)
DeleteCute little show isn't it? It was prime time when
DeleteI was a little girl. haha.
Is that why you are so bewitching . . . . :)
DeleteMaybe! ;) I do wish I could wiggle my nose like that and create some magic! lol
DeleteI am sure there are other things you could wiggle to create magic . . . hahahah!
Deletebtw . . . I DO remember the show form 'yonks' ago ~ I loved it.
!
DeleteLol....
I think Deb is right! Geesh...get a life buddy!
ReplyDeleteMy boyfriend would have been just as elusive....I need details! Hahaha!
Enjoy your week ahead...
Cheers!
Linda :o)
ps....if there was a skunk....YOU would know!
I know! Men! I would have had to have talked to him.
DeleteOur whole village had a skunk problem last year before the winter
came. Do they hibernate? They must because I haven't seen one since.
But I can't believe there is much seed on the ground with the juncos
digging about under the feeder.
If you had skunks...your lawn would be all ripped up...they love grubs!!
DeleteWe see evidence of them at the cottage...they can make a real mess...
And...why are the Juncos still here??? I have them here as well.....hmmmmm...
Well, it's cold again here, so I guess the Juncos still feel at home. haha
DeleteYour Mister sounds like mine! I would hav talked more, Bob would have waved and ignored it. :)
ReplyDeleteWe have a neighbor like that too...
haha...our husbands all sound the same!
Deletelol let him have the funk
ReplyDeleteHe can have many a pet skunk
Him and his tightey whities on the line
As he peeps while in the sink your feet dine lol
lol....You'd think he's just close up the bottom of his deck
Deleteinstead of giving us heck!
Hi Betsy - oh dear those sorts of neighbours are a pain in the butt - I feel for you both ... take care and all the best with ignoring him as best you can ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteWe do pretty well....we are amused more than anything!
DeleteWe have one of those too. Does he think you can control the skunks?
ReplyDeleteI guess he thinks if we didn't have a bird feeder, there wouldn't be any skunks.
DeleteOh my gosh, now this could get really hilarious! First of all, he has the living conditions the skunks like, obviously. Secondly, you can't control the skunks. He sounds like a piece of work. That part about him peeking in your windows kills me. Mama always says, "kill 'em with kindness." Not sure if that would work on someone like him. He sounds like a big old crank. But, you could make him some cookies in the shape of a skunk. HaHa!
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! Skunk cookies? Should I make them taste wonderful or stinky? hahaha. We are always kind to him, but rarely have contact. Yes, the Peeping Tom was the worst..especially since our eyes met and he scurried away. Craziest thing ever.
DeleteIt sounds like mr. Neighbor man needs to get a life and an exterminator. Lol
ReplyDeleteYes. How do you catch a skunk, anyway? haha....he needs to figure that out.
