We had about 2¼ inches of rain Monday night, and Beate both sent an email and phoned Andy Tuesday morning before he left for the land. On their way to work she and Tim had cleaned out some culverts to keep them open, and she said the entrance to one on the way up to the fire station was buried. Andy was not to work on it.
Beate said she and Tim would leave work early to try to dig it out. So Andy worked two to three hours clearing the culverts on our part of the road, and he waited for Beate and Tim by the buried culvert on his way home. They all agreed that if Beate and Tim encountered any rocks too big to handle, they would phone Andy and he would phone Orlando and arrange for Orlando to bring up some heavy equipment.
It wasn’t necessary. That evening Tim sent this picture of the unburied culvert.
Thank you, Beate and Tim! We’re lucky to have you as neighbors.

great…
my neighbour who mowed my tiny yard the weekend after I broke my wrist – came over this last Sunday and said he hadn’t forgotten me – nearly 8 weeks later – but he would get onto his and mine this weekend… actually there hasn’t been much growth because of autumn leaves falling everywhere – which I haven’t been able to rake up for my compost bin!
I’m happy you have him!
Great to have good neighbours and I have some excellent ones too.
I’m happy for you too.
For real Andy is the great neighbor who carried the lion’s share of all the road work so far. We sure are the lucky ones and very grateful! Without Andy we – and a bunch of other people – would have lost access to our places after the fire.
Be that as it may, it was incredibly sweet of you to phone him that morning.
i have long thought of beate as the neighbor from heaven.
but.
knowing you and andy. i totally understand why.
what is it the kids used to say? “it takes one to know one!” xoxo
and tim! oh my. i left out tim! LOL.
now he gets his own accolade! 🙂
No credit for me, I’m afraid. I’ve given Andy plenty of moral support about the roadwork and his projects, but it’s been years since I’ve helped with the manual labor.
never underestimate moral support my monk!!!!! XO
