It is after 7:30pm on Sunday night, on the first weekend of official Spring, and one of those rare early spring evenings in the Pacific Northwest where it’s actually comfortable to sit outside in the yard and enjoy the fact that there is both still light in the sky at this time of day and it’s warm enough to enjoy being outside in the evening without multiple layers of insulating poly clothing.
My neighbor has just finished mowing his ¼ acre with a gas-powered lawn mower and is now finishing up the job with a power leaf blower. I use similar machines myself, and know that I am disturbing the peace of my neighborhood whenever I do, so I try to use them only at mid-day. I am torn between admiring my neighbors energy, feeling like I should be out doing the same, and wishing that I could just sit here and enjoy quiet and calm of the evening.
Should I post this on my Facebook page? My neighbor is one of my Facebook “Friends” and we are generally on good terms. If I posted this, might he take it as antagonistic?
