Ok... since we are on the subject of neighbors and lights, here's my dilemma. We have a neighbor who has crafted a six foot tall cross out of two by fours, stuck it in a pot and wrapped it in a zillion Christmas lights. By day, it is very homemade looking, by night, it will put your eyes out. Now before everyone hollers that I am not being a Christian, this is not the case. I appreciate the meaning of the cross and certainly have no problem with anyone professing their love for God, but somehow this just seems inappropriate. From our dock, it looks more like a burning cross and it reflects across the water in an eerie way. I think it could be mistaken as offensive to some. My problem is primarily how bright it at night. It wouldn't matter if it were in the shape of a heart... it's just out of place and unsightly. Our slough is mixture of very nice houses and modest cabins, but everyone has very tasteful landscape lighting. This just sticks out like a sore thumb. How can I say anything without sounding like a heathen? I'm just tired of wearing my sunglasses at 9pm to enjoy a glass of wine on my dock:)
