Brighten Your Day

I have two random acts of kindness that just happened in 2024.

The first was after a hurricane…we have hugs trees in our yard and the largest lost a branch during a hurricane. At first the electric company showed up within an hour of calling them because the branch was leaning on lines. So they moved the lines over the branch, but said we are responsible for removing the gigantic limb. A day or two later a tree service was on our street (a lot of clean up services were doing what they could for the good of the community) and after a brief conversation with my husband there was a truck in our driveway and two men who worked for over an hour to get that huge branch down so it didn’t damage anything. No cost to us.

Then there was also the night heading into fall/winter where we needed to make the last mow for the season. I was sitting on my back porch and I kept hearing a lawnmower close by. All of the sudden a ride on mower (zero-turn) showed up in my back yard! He looked at me, grinned, and gave me a thumbs up. I gave him a thumbs up and he proceeded to mow my back yard. He already mowed the front. Then he was gone and I have no idea who he is and why he decided to do that, but it was a great help to us.

On top of money, these people saved me from so much anxiety. The branch would have caused damage if left that way and we needed to mow AND needed to rent a mower to do it.
