Nickel Farm

When I awoke this morning, the weather was clear but had turned cloudy by 10:00.  Since I left my large tarp at home, I am hoping to get back home before having to patch my small ones together to protect my large load from rain and/or snow.  Left the city about 4:00 and arrived home just as it was getting dark.  Since a winter storm was imminent, I enlisted the help of two beer-drinking neighbors to get the beastly couches into the house tonight.  They are good people and are always ready to help.

Awoke to 3” of snow this morning and it snowed most of the day.  It was great!  Had an enjoyable time at church and determined to shovel my neighbor’s walk and driveway across the street afterwards.  Turns out someone beat me to the task and here I was, all bundled up and ready for action.  So, I found a couple of other neighbors whose walks needed shoveling and set to work.  One of those neighbors was one of the guys who had brought my couches in the house last night.  It felt good to return the favor and create good feelings in the neighborhood.
