Of course the real problem is the parents of these teenagers. The house and
people in it are about as classic as you can get for the word
"dysfunctional" -- no boundaries among themselves or respect for anyone
else, fighting in the front yard at 2 AM, screaming and yelling heard from
100' away any time of day. .. you get the picture. Everything that breaks
stays where it is, doors hanging off hinges, gates broken, junk everywhere,
3' tall lawn, weeds everywhere. I can imagine what the inside of the house
looks like.
What is particularly sad is this was a much loved and cared for home until
the elderly resident died a couple of years ago.
I'm trying to be grateful none of my pets were hurt. The other 90% of my
neighbors are wonderful people, for the most part. It would be nice to just
ignore them but it's nearly impossible to do, if you want any sleep or
peace.

For mine is a little old fashioned garden where the flowers come
together to praise the Lord and teach all who look upon them to do
likewise.
