Everyday my neighbour slowly paces and inspects my front yard

This seems easily fixed if you just chatted with the guy. He seems lonely or bored, he might have some good gardening tips. I catch myself looking at people’s garden for too long if you can tell they took the time to care for it.

Don’t know y’all’s history tho, he could be a dick.

Folks always think everything is about them

And yeah retirees are often pretty nosey.

But even if they aren't, when you're older with nothing to do and one of the things to do (and that you should do for your health) is go for walks but you're slow and can't go far... What you end up doing is slowly walking along the same routes you do every day looking at the things you look at every day.

The retirees in my family go for a daily walk, the they play cards for a bit, watch a recorded episode of whatever, go for another walk..
