Neighbors out in backyard last night 1:30 am

well we are all different, i am a social type of guy and chat with anyone [and frequently do]
but if i had just wakened at 1.30 then remembered to take out the trash i might not feel very social either
and if several of the tenants of next door had been playing loud music in the night, then they might get wakened early next morning to bagpipe records at full blast...now that does work...lol

Neighbors can be strange. Our back fence neighbors had crack head kids who would walk around the back yard in the wee hours. We'd find all kinds of crap they threw into our yard. After they moved, it became a rental and we've had a real variety of characters. Last week Dave noticed the current people came out in the yard at about nine o'clock with flashlights. No idea what they were doing. Whatever it was, they did it a few nights in a row. They have a large dog that our little Chihuahua mix dog is in love with! She scratches at the fence and runs up and down with the dog on the other side. I hope these tenants stay for a while. They're the best of the bunch.

You were lucky they moved.
When I got married, we bought a house in a "quiet" neighborhood. We couldn't have known that our next-door neighbors were drug dealers. We figured we had nothing to do with them, so....who cares? Like hell!
I'm relaxing one evening & a loud motorcycle parks in front. I watch a guy around 6'10" walk up to my front door & he starts pounding on it - really pounding, the whole wall is shaking.

Without opening the door (of course), I ask "Who is it?"

He yells, "Open the f-----g door or I'll break it down."

I grabbed my 12 Gauge, went back to the door & chambered a round (makes a loud noise) & yelled, "Did you hear that?"

He says, "Yeah, & I don't give a f--k...nobody rips me off."

That gave me a clue - he mistook my house for my next-door neighbor's house where he felt they ripped him off on a drug deal.

I said, "You don't want to die for nothing; you got the wrong house; your dealers are next door....leave while you're still breathing."

A few minutes later, police swarmed the whole block & arrested everyone in the house.

Ahhhh......neighbors.........

debodun, it sounds as if you really don't like your neighbors. They are either loud, obnoxious partiers; or they have the gall to quietly sit there, and say "Hello" to you. Do you have a "history" with them?

1:30 in the AM is not everyone's time to socialize. Stupid neighbors just have to say something though then have to giggle about it too. Idiots.

That’s how I roll also only it would be saxophone 🎷. This I’d only do if the neighbours made a habit of it. The odd time is ok. Everyone needs an outlet of letting loose occasionally.

Deb,

I think that this might have been a missed opportunity to find someone to mow your lawn.

Next time you bump into your next-door neighbors say hello and do a little networking to see if they may know someone that would like the job.

Good luck!

Dunno if you're serious Bea...but absolutely not the thing to do IMO... the last thing Deb needs to do is draw attention that she lives alone to possible drug addicts... :oops:

The question isn't whether I like my neighbors. It's why would anyone bet sitting outside at 1:30 am when it's in the 30's.

Well you did say they were sitting around a fire so they could have been warm enough to sit out a bit (maybe a bit of alcohol or a toke would have been welcome ((hence the giggling)). Maybe they were just getting in some quiet outside time and saw you and said hello.
 
They were out again last night and had quite a large fire going in their burner. I was a little concerned that a spark from it could ignite the dry leaves along the property border. Here is a photo I just took from the upstairs back window. The burner is still there but the circle of chairs has been put away.

i dont think so Keesha, its just a happening outside her comfort zone, you see thing differently when living alone
then all the strange movies about murder and mayhem. i can understand her discomfort, us all being in lockdown wont be helping her, so i feel we should...lol... their behaviour might seem strange to us but might be normal for them... try not to worry.

well most of us who are normally quite active are finding it very difficult to sleep so perhaps these folk come into that category and simply cant sleep so decide to sit outside
 
From my experience a fight will be their next move. They get really loud when that happens and flashing lights appear and keep you awake for the next couple of hours.

Where’s the large fire pit? I see what looks like a plant container. Is that really your complaint?

I had a fire pit like that on my back patio at my old house.
