Neighborly Good Deeds
 |
| Jim A., Dan O., Sue A., and Tanya O. February 9, 2013 |
I live in a great neighborhood where nearly everyone is friendly and helpful. This morning as I was checking blogs and reading the paper, I glanced out the front window to find Dan O. shoveling my walks and driveway. When I opened the door to thank him, I noticed that his wife Tanya and another couple were out shoveling, too. The two couples had done their own walks and drives, and then joined forces to shovel the walks of my next door neighbor and the elderly lady across the street as well as mine. It warmed my heart to see their neighborly good deeds.
My area is due to receive an additional 8 inches of snow today. Even though it causes some inconveniences, every flake is welcome.
Update: February 11, 2013
This storm brought my area's snow-water equivalent up to 88 percent. Hopefully, more moisture-heavy storms will drop snow in the mountains and in Fremont County in the remaining months of Winter.
I seriously miss living somewhere that gets regular snow. I'm thinking this afternoon should maybe include some cookie baking - nothing like warm chocolate chips to thank someone for shoveling show and help replace the calories they burned off duing the work. g
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful when others give of their time and effort to help out! I always try to "pay it forward" in some way when someone does a good deed for me.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your snow. How I wish I could just spend a week or 2 in a place that really gets snow! Perhaps someday. Right now we avoid it like the plague. Us Southerners just don't have a clue how to act or drive in that stuff!
Happy knitting! Looks like the weather is perfect to sit where it is warm and kit away.
That is just wonderful Nancy. Great neighbors are fantastic. We try to help ours out whenever we can.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice surprise. You have some wonderful neighbors!
ReplyDeleteP.S.: The snow looks really pretty.
How wonderful to have such nice neighbors. We used to live in a neighborhood like that. Our current neighborhood is nice, just not that nice. I know the snow causes a lot of problems, but I miss snow.
ReplyDeleteGlad to know you are doing OK, we are bracing for the blizzard, 12 inches forcast for tonight. I shall not be venturing off the porch tomorrow. Stay ewarm and take care
ReplyDeleteWhat great neighbors! If everyone pitches in it makes for short work. We are supposed to get Ornco or some such blizzard tomorrow:)
ReplyDeletelooks like you're getting plenty of snow--forecast is for possible +12" here--but the wind is coming too--no travel suggested until MONDAY. Its not here yet--raining at the moment--but has hit west of us. I'm prepared--got the essentials and plenty of fabric to keep me busy. how nice your neighbors shoveled you out, I hate cold and snow. Ken has the snowblower ready to whiz down the ramp. Yeah. Parked right by the front door. sheesh
ReplyDeleteGotta love those wonderful Wyoming residents!
ReplyDeleteThat is so heart-warming. We can be so grateful for such appreciated acts of love. This storm has quite a bit of moisture in it, so like you, I say, "Bring it on."
ReplyDeleteHey Nancy the snow is pretty but can stop us in our tracks. I am so glad you have very nice neighbors. Where I live no one thinks about others, it is like do for yourself or it will not get done.
ReplyDeleteI have a porch with no covering and at the present time 14" of snow I might have to build a snowman. We are dealing with freezing rain at the moment.
Yay for good neighbors! I'd welcome a good 6-8" snow... but not this coming Saturday. Not for the gala.
ReplyDeleteBrrrrrr! It's very pretty, but I do not miss the snow at all!
ReplyDeleteGood thing you've got great neighbors. Now I hope you have a load of hot chocolate, batteries and blankets in case the electricity goes out. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful thing!!...But all that snow...glad you are enjoying it:) We did have rain Friday night... I think about 50 drops...just enough to make a mess of the dust on the car:)))
ReplyDeleteWow. I don't really miss the Wyoming snows. LOL. It has been cold here but no snow.
