Summer is always a time of change. More specifically, it's the time of moving trucks and new faces. A lot of our neighborhood moved over the summer and now our new people are moving in.
We've got the people to the left of us, who have two identical minivans and two girls I will only describe as "the lemonade stand girls". They also have a dog who is fond of taking himself for walks and a cat that I refer to as Watermelon, since that its approximent size and shape.
Catty corner to us, we have the pair of husbands with the cute white chairs on their front porch and the fluffy dog. They are mysteriously never home.
Across, we've got the sporty, outdoorsy, adopt-everybody family, who are lovely and also never home. They've got the cute little three year old who wants nothing more to keep up with her big football playing brothers and the mom who, despite being perpetually tired out, mothers every kid in the neighborhood and throws the best block parties ever.
Opposite catty corner is a new family that are only just now moving in. I'm calling them the Vampire Family.
And then next to us we have the other three year old (who's learning to ride her first big-kid bike right now), the day-working military mum, and the ten year old boy who plays saxaphone in the street in the evenings.
Neighbors are weird, man.
Who did you meet today?
P.S.
I had to look up, "Is it kitty corner or catty corner," because my mom thought it must be, 'kitty'. Apparently, 'kitty', 'catty', and 'cater' corner are all acceptable, while 'caddy' is not. #TheMoreYouKnow
