Dear Neighbor,
I know that those of us who did not grow up in the city are often accustomed to thinking of our backyards as private places. However, this is less true in the city, especially when two houses are less than ten yards form each other.
I very much respect your desire to have barbecues and picnics in your backyard. I would never ask you not to. I do suggest that you remember that my room is less than 10 feet from your backyard. You might not wish to talk about things like your friend's problem with pot, the lawsuit about your job, or other stuff you don't want people to know about.
Additionally, I am aware that sometimes we need to make calls to different time zones. But, before six in the morning? In your yard? Please. Keep it in the house.
Very truly yours,
LadyA
