out-standing neighbours.

when we first moved into this neighbourhood, we didn't know anyone. mostly because the houses were bought up, and just flipped. never got a chance to get to know anyone... except the neighbours to the south. (left side if your walking away from our house.) as well as the neighbours who are 2 doors down. they are the best neighbours anyone could ask for... here let me tell you what happened to adam and i this weekend... then you can decide. (we've talked to our neighbours when ever we see each other, but nothing too serious.)

both the neighbours i mentioned above were doing their landscaping this weekend. adam worked friday and saturday, so i just tidy the house, and stayed home for the most part, and watched through the windows, and when brooke and i went outside... just kept her out of the way, and off the street... turkey! they finished up their landscaping on sunday morning. while adam and i were eating a late breakfast, some may call it brunch... we hear a knock at our door. it's our neightbour from next door, mike. he's come over to ask us if we want half a load of dirt (1 load runs from $150-$180), and 2 palets of sod (a palet goes for... $180-$200). it's ours, free of charge... if we don't use it, it's going to be a waste. we take it. of course. i did have to get adam motivated to do some yard work on his only day off, i felt bad for that, but they gave us enough dirt and sod to complete one side of our house!! amazing.

they now hold a favour card. not like we're keeping track... but we'd like to make it a give and take relationship. i told them that when they are ready to do their basement, i know a plumber. adam laughed!

good people are sometimes hard to find, but we are lucky enough to have some as our neighbours! what a wonderful world we can live in!!
