I had to wake up this morning at 4:30am to take care of some business. (And because we loved it so much, We’re going to do it again tomorrow!) I actually thought it quite interesting how a-buzz my neighborhood was at this time. People jogging, walking dogs, driving off to work…

Regardless of the people, it was interesting how peaceful everything seemed to be. Seriously, for the first time in god knows how long, there wasn’t a single leaf blower or weed wacker running. The steam coming off all of our faux ponds gave the neighborhood an eerie glow from our over priced “paid for in full by the HOA” street lights. And if you listened closely you could hear the deer off in the distance — “.. I swear Marge, This wasn’t here last year — I distinctly remember there being a big oak tree in this very spot… “.

God Bless Suburban Sprawl!
