The Nosy Neighbor

 Our next-door neighbor's pumpkin patch is still doing well.


And they have this cute Jack 'O Lantern made from flower pots on their front porch.


By now I'm sure you have guessed that the nosy neighbor is ME. But only for your viewing enjoyment! 

They have a nice little flower bed, I thought this was the prettiest flower.


And their fall flag is gorgeous, especially with flowers growing around it.


And there is also some action, as they have a birdfeeder. Here is the boss of the birds.




Behind the blinds, she takes her post,

 Knows who’s late and who’s a ghost.

She’s not rude, just well-informed—

 A one-woman newsstand, perfectly adorned.

I'm still smiling about the jack o'lantern and the hat.

Your poem was written just for me,
I stare out my window, just to see what ever I can see.
I am the nosy neighbor too,
watching the view of my neighbors too.
love that pumpkin.. my entertainment during daylight is the view from my big window. 4 houses and the one with the best view is The House of 7 Cars, with 6 adults and 2 babies under 2 and those cars come and go all hours of the day and night and Amazon, Door dash, fedX, UPS are dashing in and out all day. Even their garbage is an adventure. We wait to see what they put out at the curb and the replacement to be delivered. For 3 weeks there were 3 contractors working and that was fun too.. If I had my DSLR there would be photos

Your neighbors have a fun yard. Lots to see and take photos of. That poem is so cute. That could be me because I sometimes peek out through my blinds to see what's going on

You're becoming quite the poet! :)

I love the poem!
Aren't squirrels cute to watch? The little Jack-o-lantern is cute too.

Oh, that mischievous squirrel is taking all the bird seeds. These are great photos of the little rascal. Your neighbor's flag is so vibrant and pretty. And that little pumpkin patch is awesome. It would be so wonderful to grow pumpkins.

Have a nice weekend, Ginny.

If we weren't a bit nosy from time to time, Ginny, we would be a lot less informed. Loved the photos, especially of that squirrel. Blessings!

I know that they certainly appreciate their nosy neighbor. It would be a shame for the to keep all of this beauty hidden for themselves. I am enjoying seeing every picture. this makes me nosy too.. lol. ❤️

Guilty of being the nosy neighbor too. Gotta see what's going on in our very quiet neighborhood. Every one works or are in school except for about 3 of us families. Actually I don't mind the quiet though.

Fun poem to go with your photos. I always enjoy seeing what’s going on your way. Squirrel is so cute too :) I like to see how people decorate so I guess I am a nosy neighbor too. I am in great company :)

That is a lovely flower, and you got some great shots of the squirrel.
The poem gave me a big smile. Where do you find them? It's one I'd love to share if thee is a source to go with it.
