Appreciating good neighbors
We have lived in this home for the past 22 years and as we don't live in a development, we have limited neighbor interaction, as the lots are spread out on our road, ranging anywhere from 2-10 acres and we border a private road in the rear. We do share a driveway entrance with two gents, who have been our neighbors the entire time and we all hit it off from the day that we started construction on our home. We watch their cats, they keep an eye on our home when we are away and we are always trading gardening stories and sharing produce. I normally snowblow their driveway when I do ours, as they are both getting up there in age and with COVID, they have been hunkered down. My efforts are always rewarded with a thank you note, sometimes a fresh pie and sometimes a bottle of red. Not needed of course, but they are gentlemen to the core.
Today was a great example of neighbor helping neighbor as we received another 5" of snow, which means driveway clearing time. This morning I thought, I'll get out the snowblower once again, but I will wait until after a few ZOOM calls and after everyone is awake, as I'm not driving anywhere today. But no, a few minutes ago, I saw a white plume of snow coming from my driveway as Ron is out there in his Carhartts and showing the Gravely who's boss. My turn with the bottle of red I guess.
