[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in 22207 and we have a yard service but also do a lot of our own gardening.  This is true of MOST of my neighbors.  Maybe they have someone come and mow their lawns but they are out weeding, planting flowers and herbs and so forth.  I seriously doubt that anyone is looking at you like you are some kind of freak.  You must be super self-conscious to think anyone gives a damn what you are doing?

I call humble-brag.  "People of DCUM-land, look how down to earth I am compared to my pretentious and snotty neighbors who throw their money away." [/quote]

No, I don't think it is "humble brag."  I don't care what people do with their own money.

But I do like to see people outside doing yard work in the spring and summer, because it reminds me of my childhood neighborhood and it makes it friendly and warm.

Again, I don't care how people spend their money, and I am not making a moral judgment.  It's an aesthetic.  I don't care what people's lawns look like, but I do like seeing people out and gardening.  It's just the kind of scene I like.

I'm getting kind of tired how people can have an opinion or a preference without some defensive person accusing them of being arrogant.  No one said anything here about pretentious or snotty neighbors.  They are just saying they like doing yard work and like seeing other people do it.  Relax.[/quote]
