Boomer Neighbor v Boomer Neighbor

I was working in my front yard garden. The neighbors across the street were out of town -- not wholly relevant, but no one was home to handle things on their own. Their immediate neighbor on one side was also out doing yard work. This man and his wife are the Final Boomer Bosses. Everyone on the block avoids them.

Another boomer couple was out for a walk and started walking around a bush in the out-of-towners' yard. There is a path directly behind this bush that leads to their backyard gate.

Boomer Boss and I both saw this and moved towards these trespassing boomers. He was closer, so I stayed in my yard and took my headphones off to hear. Boomer Boss came with his bad attitude and the couple scurried back to the sidewalk, tried to smooth things by asking if he knew what kind of bush was there because it was beautiful. Obviously the obtuse Boomer Boss man has never dealt with garden stuff; he knows grass. They wandered off without an answer.

I think the wife from the walking boomers came back in the morning, parked in the driveway, got out, and took a picture of the same bush.

Ma'am. The ship sailed when they walked around on a stranger's property, but I would have happily shared that it was a safe bush in full bloom if they had just stayed in the street and asked about it.

Related: My mom is considering adding some pavers with low growth plants between the pavers. She did the same in a previous home's backyard and said that she was going to go take pictures over the 6 foot privacy fence so we could all see how it turned out. Ma'am.
