What a cutie pie she was love her colourMaybe the guy works on Sunday during the day. I can raise you that story. Did I tell this story before? Our fairly-new neighbor across the hollow had his chainsaw tuned up and picked it up on his way home from work. Tried it out, runs like a charm. Started working on his firewood logs. By the way, when does he work? Second shift, maybe third - it was about 2am!He cut wood for an hour or so. We lay in bed flabbergasted.
Okay, maybe that was a one-off? Nope. Next night, 11pm and it starts up again. I drove across the hollow in my PJ's and robe. Decided I wouldn't get out of the car in case he really was nuts. Gotta consider the situation, and this is truly bizarre. But this was the 90's. I think I would not do this nowadays. Not at night anyways.
Pulled up, but not too close, and rolled down the window. There he was with blazing outside lights cutting wood. He stopped and took his muffs off. I asked him really nicely: Can you not chainsaw during the night please? We're sleeping. See, that's our house up there across the way? We're 1/8 mile from here directly, we're all in this hollow, and the sound travels.
He was actually very sorry and explained he thought the distance was enough, he just got off work and had the saw worked on, etc., I said you know you have another neighbor much closer than us, right there on the corner (Only a thousand feet down the road)? He's a real early riser. We work at night like you, but not every night, and none of us are night-owls. He was great about it, and never chain-sawed at night again.

she is a solid chestnut now right?
. Brownie has a minor eye injury I will address in the morning, I assume she got it trying save Fable. 
I made it much much much harder for them to eat the chicken feed so now they are going after my chickens instead.
