A Little Greedy I Suppose

I confess that I am a bit greedy. We are so fortunate to have such a large and tree filled yard that when it's summer and the leaves are full we don't see anything from our home except nature. I love it. Mountains and trees and flowers are what I see when I look out the windows or step outside. That is until now. The neighbors behind us (who by the way are very nice and whom we like a lot) decided to put in a play set for their grandchildren. There is nothing wrong with that idea. We do everything we can to make sure our grandchildren want to be at our home too. The problem is that they didn't just put in a little playset - they put in an enormous one - two stories tall. And as if that isn't bad enough, they placed it as close as possible to the fence that separates our properties (a see-through, chain link fence!) so that it is visible from most rooms in our home and each time we drive up our drive-way it greet us. AND as if that weren't bad enough, it's not a natural wood or blend in with nature kind of color. It is bright royal blue, bright fire-engine red and bright sunshine yellow. As I said, I know that I'm being greedy but I am pretty sad about this new addition. It really changes how things look from our home. I guess I'm just going to have to learn to live with it.
