Here is one thing I love about snow storms - they draw simple kindness and humanity out of us.
The snow we received last night was several inches, and it was packed, which made it heavy. This morning several of us were out shoveling (us) and snow blowing (others). One neighbor walked over to chat with Kevin and it was determined they would work together with another neighbor to take care of the driveways of the 80 year old widower across the street as well as the single mom a few doors down.
Dan, one of the guys said to the others, "When you buy a house, this is part of the responsibility." He was referring to the help we are to provide to each other. I love that. This is a good world view and I'm glad he is one of our neighbors.
As I drove to pick up Zach from a friend's house, a woman drove off the road and into massive amounts of snow right behind me. I was hoping after I picked Zach up he could help her. When we got back to where she was, there were four cars pulled over, and four men with shovels were digging her out. It made me smile. (And it may have relived Zach who was in shorts and tennis shoes!)
Beautiful!!! You truly have an eye for colour.
