The young couple who live next door to me

57. sound of kids playing

I live in a working class neighborhood. It's often quiet these last few years, I actually saw 3 canadian geese walking, yes walking down our street. I imaging the number of trees with just changing leaves prevented a careful take off. The house directly across the street has one high school boy in some type of special needs school, two grade school girls, this summer the mom watched other kids for working parents. Their small dog had a great time, my senior citizen dog, loved the girls fawning over her on short visits. The guy next to them is an immigrant from ghana, next to me is a 90ish year old man, one of the original owners on the street, my other side is a single mom with boomerang kids. and them there is the 4 families who moved in at the far end of the block, spanish/english speaking, this summer they were teaching the kids to ride bikes, I was relearning how to ride a bike, so there were a fair number of us moving up and down the street, wobbling. And then there is us, the lesbian couple, with the well tended front yard with flowers, trees and a dog who supervises.
Mineral Man, the small town is just more overtly, diverse, but I know my blessings in having this. nice topic, thanks
