Paying it forward - Someone plowed my driveway?!

[lupinfarm]

We've been meaning to get the driveway plowed, it's half a KM in length! but today we went out to Campbellford and when we came back, there were tractor marks on the driveway, and it had been plowed up to the barn! .... The rental car was in the way, so I reckon they didn't go any further because of it. The only farmer we know is our neighbor who sold us the property and cut our hay this year, but he's 250 acres away from us.

We'd thank whoever it was, if we only knew which of the farmers in our direct area it was! ... I think it was the portuguese family... but mum is sure it is Jim our neighbor, who knows!

Life is grand! I love it when someone does something nice for me. It makes me want to cry. What a blessing!

That's awesome!!
Our neighbor does ours a lot but, now my boys are big enough to go shovel it!!

Wow. That's really sweet. Now you get to do something nice for someone else.

You could always put up a sign at the road that says "Thank You" whoever it was would know what you mean:>) That is so nice of whoever did that for you!

When we lived up north and had a good snowfall--it was like a competition between the neighbours who could get out there faster with their snowblowers. Mind you we just had regular length driveways.
I think a big thank you sign at the mouth of the drivewaywould be a great idea!

I think the thank you sign is a great idea!

We "caught" our neighbor plowing our driveway couple years ago. I fixed up a pot of coffee and took him out a hot cup with cookies.

when i lived in town last, my youngest was only 3 and older son at grams when it snowed several inches. I heard shoveling and low and behold there was a gentleman outside shoveling my car out. He had shoveled for the older man across the street he told him I had a small child so he came to do mine too. He didnt ask for anything but he looked like he was in need so I gave him some money and told him to come back next time. I had never talked to the older man before but appreciated his thoughtfulness.

I think the Thank You sign is a good idea too. They did a good deed and will know you mean them.

Spread the wealth. If everyone passes on good deeds it will make the rounds.

Thats the thing I love about my neighborhood. Someone is always doing something. My neighbor was always bringing my garbage cans up the hill when my DH worked out of town. Of course when my neighbor worked out of town and his wife was sick I not only took the empty cans back to her house I would bring the full cans to the road for her. So it always comes back at ya.
