Country House and City House Next to Each Other
We live in a house that was built less than 10 years ago. A new house then – our neighbour’s house – not so much. It was a farm house but by the time we moved in it wasn’t active anymore. This is the view from the street, our seven apartment house in front on the left, the old house at the back to the right.
That’s the view from the kitchen window. It’s actually not a new photo as there are now bushes that have grown between the two properties. But the house still looks more or less the same when you peep through the leaves.

Hallo, Nachbar!
Hi there, neighbour!
“Love your neighbor as yourself; but don’t take down the fence.”
Carl Sandburg
Even in garden gnome society this seems to be a followed adage.
And certainly, some neighbours may be cute but you do not want them on your side of the fence.
I don’t know that the fence will keep those neighbours on their side, though.
And there are some neighbours who will be welcomed even if they have to climb that fence to come over.
