My neighbors win.......

Maybe I should have posted this one last, so you could see the difference in the pictures on the next post from the day before. Anyway, this is from this morning, it was beautiful after the storm.......
I think I have the best neighbors, they should win an award. Honestly, EVERY one of my neighbors as far down as I know, are AWESOME people. I shoveled the snow several times yesterday, to keep it from building up too high. But still, by morning, there was nearly 10 more inches where I had shoveled. 6:30am I am getting all geared up to go shovel so Bill can get his car out, (he would do it, but I insist he not so he can keep his nice suit from getting ruined) Before I get out there, I hear a snow-blower in my drive-way. My sweet neighbor from across the street is taking care of the snow behind both our cars. HOW NICE!

I appreciate this sprinkle effect on our yard from the snow-blower shooting the snow over the perfectly fallen snow-covered grass.


Just to give you an idea.... I put these out during my second snow-shoveling run yesterday, and this is how they looked this morning.
I had a serious pile of snow again in our driveway after I cleared my car to take the kids to school, (on top of more snow from Bill's car). I had to go get them breakfast and then I was going to get to the big piles. But the school called and it was postponed 2 hours due to the snow. So I put off the task. By the time I went back out to shovel the big piles of snow, some neighbor, I have no idea which one, had already shoveled our ENTIRE driveway, even the piles by the garage, AND our walk-ways, side-walks, and mail box. There are a number of people who could have done this, so I'm just going to have to make cake for all of them. :)
The thing is, this is not the first time, and I'm sure not the last, that one of our neighbors takes extra time to spread a little love. :)
