The things outside or lurking - perhaps ourselves

How in a humanitarian way does one respond? The noise from neighbours - of whatever sort - can both intrigue or considerably irritate. We live with each other - flies and butterflies. Make one's own boundaries/borders known equitably quietly. But, one must also make it known just what is reasonable.

Yes, Gisela, it can be a delicate balance at times. I have a new neighbour on one side with whom there is immediate friction regarding her disregard for the trees & wildlife.

And yet, on the other side, the neighbours have become 'family' over the years. We feed the birds and foxes and squirrels and live in complete harmony with one another.

This reminds me once of the neighbor who played music loud most nights until 2am. Some mornings it was playing at 6am. Not only that but his friends tormented me by ringing my buzzer all the time 12am. I find it hard to mix with neighbors as am very private with my life.
