Neighbors
Update: I had been shoveling all morning. I had to stop and rest then go back out. It was very hard work shoveling that long driveway. Look what I did.
Not really. But, I really had been working all morning and afternoon on the driveway because I can't stand to be enclosed...trapped. I was resting inside when I heard something outside. It was my neighbor (kind of) with his Bobcat and he was moving that snow! He told me he was digging out his neighbors. Neighbors? He lives about a 1/2 mile away. I wanted to pay him. He said no way.
He went out of his way to help. He has proven many times to be a wonderful quality of a man and a great distant neighbor. :) I happen to know he would do anything to help anyone.
Thanks, Mike.

It would have taken me forever to get that snow piled to the sides.
I am free..for now...until the next storm.
Now I'm inspired!!!

Mason, I know our snow isn't anything like other places, but it still hurts...the cabin fever. I don't adjust well to anything, I'm finding out. This information is disturbing.
You are very fortunate.
Hope all's well .. cheers Hilary
What a nice guy. It's good to know there are still people out there like that.
Hope you're keeping warm! PS. Welcome to my world! ;-)
I have shoveled snow before and know it's no fun. Thank goodness you have such a kind-hearted neighbor.
This last storm we had about 4 inches of pebbled ice fall followed by 6 or so inches of fluffy snow. Winds blew much of the snow but I'd need a jack hammer to remove the ice. Hell, I can walk on it without it breaking. Drive on it without the tires barely making a mark. sigh... I'll be so glad to see spring...
I don't like being closed in either and because I'm so short the snow is up to my knees...next to someone of normal height which is around their calves (Ha)!
Praying no more snow...until next winter!

What a wonderful guy, your neighbor. I hope your freedom was delicious.
