I love looking out from my back deck right now, primarily for what I don't see rather than what I do...
I see:
- potted plants
- leaves of sweetgum, ash, and oak
- neighboring tree tops
- chunks of blue sky between tree tops
I don't see:
- neighbor's Sanford & Son junk heap
- other neighbor's Sanford & Son junk heap (this heap vanishes seasonally under a mass of honeysuckle and Virginia creeper)
- neighbor's peeling, rusted van - aka storage unit - stuffed full of old pillows and Hefty sacks
- neighbor's "work area" behind dilapidated shed
- neighbor's collection of concrete yard art toadstools and bunnies
I see some of, but delightfully not all of:
- Neighbor In Swim Trunks From Two Sizes Ago floating like big white water bug in above-ground pool
- NISTFTSA bending over to futz with equipment of above-ground pool
- NISTFTSA's teenage son and friends peeing off the deck
- NISTFTSA's missus on pool float scratching recurring personal itch
- Neighbor's tattered POW MIA and Don't Tread On Me flags
