(1,850 posts)My damn neighbors on 3 sides, all a good distance away, were setting off stuff all damn night.
I was comforting the animals. Noise died down a bit after midnight. But I kept hearing explosives until 4 pm.
I thought about calling to report noises disturbance, but didn't want the hassle. If I was worried about fire, I absolutely would have called. It's troubling to have to call cops/ sheriff for any reason, but sometimes we have to.
Maybe next year I can hook up a sound system or get a megaphone and reply to them
"It's after midnight. Stop the racket. It's after 1 am. Stop the racket. It's after 2 am ... And I'd be cited for disturbing the peace. Lol
If I didn't have animals I probably could have slept through it, after midnight or 1.
It upsets me that even if folks are doing fireworks safely, too many don't consider the noise or that they're disturbing their neighbors and all animals, domestic and wild.
Sounds like you live in a wonderful spot with a great garden. And you have either luck or a guardian angel on your side.
