The People in My Neighborhood

What a gorgeous day! Both the new farmers' market and the annual Riverdale Block Party were today, so Robin and I had a nice stroll where I bought veggies and bread and donated to the local food pantry and I generally had a lovely time. Naturally we were beyond exhausted upon getting home, thanks to the allergens, but we're relaxing for the rest of the day and waiting for the Yankees-Mets game to come on. The only negative is the family gathering going on outside our bedroom and home office windows, as the "porch house" residents with the hot tub are playing music and having a barbecue and such. I mean, you can't really blame them, it's their own backyard, it's just that I'm getting kind of tired of the half dozen plus backyards that face us doing their backyard stuff with screeching children or basketball-playing teens or lawn mowers when I want to nap. Guess I'll have to get used to earplugs or just wear my earbuds during lovely weekends so I can enjoy myself indoors. First world problems...
