We have truly been blessed throughout both of our lives to have had wonderful neighbors.
The neighborhood in which we have lived since 1994 was laid out in such a way that there are multiple courts off of a main road. What that did was encourage little mini-communities.
People on each court really became extended families. We share life together. We synch to each other’s patterns of living. We know when to be there for each other and when to give space.
Jay and I love children. We have always opened our yard to the many neighborhood kids who have grown up here. Frequently I look out and feel as though I am being transported to times gone by when kids played with balls until dark or just sat on the grass and talked.
Pets love it here too. We have been on first name basis with various dogs, cats, rabbits and other animal kingdom representatives.
We back up to one of the most unique places in Lexington. The neighbors to our back are allowed to have horses. They ever have a training ring. So we enjoy beautiful green pasture and horses across the fence.
And we get to enjoy them without having to cut the grass, feed the animals or clean up after them. Surrounded by white fences, it is a true slice of Kentucky.
What amazes our visitors is you can settle into our back yard and believe you are in the country. But just a few streets away from the front leads to a bustling shopping area with upscale dining options, fast food restaurants, grocery stores and more.
We know we are blessed and we are thankful every day. Sadly, our next door neighbor is moving. We are still grieving that news. But life goes on and we have faith God has the perfect people in mind to become our next neighbors.
