On one of my recent walks with Tucker in our neighborhood something struck me about property boundaries. I know this is random but that's how my mind works, I can't help it. I am not sure if it is because I like things to be symmetrical or to appear to be complete, but I noticed that a gentleman was mowing his lawn and finished mowing right up to his property line with one, maybe two rows left, that would have gone to his neighbors driveway. It seemed kind of ridiculous that he didn't just finish the remaining rows for his neighbor. Now maybe he has had some sort of discussion with the next-door-neighbor about this and they have a mutual agreement that they will just stick to the property lines, or they disagree on the height that grass should be cut, or they have had a bitter dispute and are not speaking and this is a way to make a statement. (I totally made up that last one, but it's possible). I understand if your property line attaches to your neighbor's large, open lot, but just a couple of rows? Anyway, it got me thinking, is this a reflection of our world now? Are we so interested in sticking to life in our own "property lines" that we don't take time to notice the one or two rows of "life" our neighbor is going through? I am just as guilty as the next person.
Ok, I am making too much of this again, aren't I? Just food for thought.
