I'm truly, truly humbled right now. I've been going through it this year. It's a lot. A few people know. Only 2 know everything. Today part of my tree just bent right over and split. This was not a little or medium branch...it was hunk-a-hunk tree sized "limb." I had no idea what to do. I went to my neighbor's of 19 years and the husband told me where to start. The HOA...or maybe city compliance guy stopped and told me to stop. He didn't want me to get hurt. They could clean it up if it went into the road. He said he wouldn't cover the road anyway. If you know anything about my community a nice compliance guy is a wonder!I went inside for a break and to stew in my frustration. When I sat down to do so I saw my neighbor cleaning my yard. I went out and she told me to go rest. I didn't. Kid skated by and helped. When I told him I didn't have cash, he told me he just wanted to help. An almost 50 year old woman, a 70 year old woman and a young 20 something man continued to work and had a great conversation. I had to go work
I came back to branches across my yard and my neighbors' yards on both sides. My across street neighbor said it came down in like 30 minutes of her pulling up around 430. I left at 230. They called the fire department and they got it out of the road. Not only did it block the road it blocked their driveway. My neighbors (different ones) then cut it all up and helped me move it while they were having to do their own too. Then another neighbor came out. You can see the progress in my pics. I truly, truly needed this reminder of really good people.
