I hear ya hon. I would be mad too. I am so glad I don't have close neighbors anymore! I can do whatever I choose with my little 3 acres and no one can tell me what to do with it. I have all kinds of trees and bushes growing now and that makes me happy.

as for nosey neighbors? been there done that one too and I hated it! I only have one neighbor that lives up the hill and we wave when leaving if they are out. that is about it.
