Great Neighbor.

Day 2 - [03.24.10]

Yesterday I spent hours out by the fire boiling sap. We didn't have any actual wood gathered and ready, so part of boiling the sap was gathering the sticks laying around the yard, breaking them up and filling the stove. Well, day before yesterday Dad had said he was going to get a load of slabs then didn't.

My neighbor, John, came over while Dad and I were out at the fire (Dad had just gotten there.) and said something about me gathering all the sticks and I said that Dad was supposed to get slabs but didn't. So John asked if I would like a bucket load. And Dad was like oh we don't need it. And I said yes we do! Please?! John headed over to get his tractor and get me my wood. I thanked him on his way out and he said oh, don't thank me yet, you might not like what I bring back. When I asked what he meant he said that he might bring too much. OMG, never.

So he came back with the stack of wood shown in the picture and dropped it off to the side of my stove. I was so happy that I didn't have to pick up sticks every five minutes after that! :) We seriously have some of the best neighbors ever! They have lived next door pretty much my entire life. (I think they moved in there when I was like two, but my parents were friends with them before that.) I grew up playing with the boys and there has never been a time when they wouldn't help us out when we needed it or visa versa.

Song of the Day:

Life Less Ordinary by Carbon Leaf. [This has been one of my favorite songs for years and I listened to it a couple times today. I seriously love it. :) ]
