Good Neighbors?
Our neighbors' ladders
Hang on our side of their fence.
A friendly gesture?
Some day on the ground below,
Poison ivy I will grow!

Ladders
Just take the ladders. If they're on your side of the fence, they must be a gift, right?
might need a legal opinion on that?...
it is an idea! lol. It probably depends whether the fence is totally on their property or not?! Thanks for your input.

Like they say "You Can Pick Your Nose...."
Joyce,
Neighborhood relations have been fodder for great stories down through time. We have neighbors to our right with two rambunctious kids. It is amazing how well we get along with these neighbors after two calls placed to the police on their children. Oh well, you can pick....
Pete
I guess Robert Frost said it best...
except when they use your side of the fence as a storage space! Thanks for reading and commenting, Pete.
