Visible garbage in my neighbors' yards: count grows to 3

My view out back is of a nice woods. In that woods are a piece of litter here, a piece of garbage there.

The yellow thing that I thought was a Linden's butter cookie wrapper
turns out to be a coffee can.

I also see a rusting bucket and close to another neighbor's lawn, a
plastic water jug. What slobs. And I have to look at
this all winter and spring, until the weeds and bushes grow back
again. I would venture back there to clean them up myself but I don't
want to trespass. I may post pictures at some point. (I'm sure the
count will grow too.)

I also worry that any of the wildlife I see will hurt themselves
stepping on this crap. I've found broken glass, barbed wire, all
kinds of manmade crap on the edge of my property. All you have to do
is dig a little under the leaf cover; you'll find all kinds of
garbage. It really is a minefield. Who knows what else is back there?

I watered the geranium today for the first time since I'd brought it
in back in September. As I was pouring the water in I could smell the
slight fragrance they give off. I'd like to think they were thanking
me.

The god-damned Christmas ads have started on tv, goddam it.
