On a positive note, I am getting brand new neighbors right next to me this wkend and first met them today, and they seem super normal and nice. Really enjoyed talking with them-so glad that looks like it might work out. The neighbors that moved were great and we hated losing them. This new lady was really interested in my garden and said she is coming over to visit when she gets some time.

for a new neighbor that has an interest in gardening! Maybe she'll even come join us here

He may have lived across the street and eyed the bench and plants for a long time and just made up a cute story? I mean, why would he wait 3 years to gather those things that are so important to him? Why did he wait for you to struggle alone to get the bench out of the weeds? Or maybe I just watch too much TV? Or he does?

Oh, I know you didn't mean anything by that, you were just asking, hadn't thought of it actually.

ok well I hadn't though of the possibility that he had been watching me the whole time. ... (where is creeped out icon?! )

I watch WAY too much Murder She Wrote..... maybe he WAS hiding a body in the back yard?

with his disposition, ya never know...
