Howdy Neighbor!
There is just nothing better than neighbors! I barely knew my neighbors in the city but I know more of my neighbors in the country. I LOVE my new neighbors! There is nothing like country neighbors. They do what they can to help each other out. I groomed my neighbor’s dog, Eric’s , and we were talking about my driveway and it needing rock. He had a “rake” that would fluff up the driveway to delay the rock purchase.
I traded the grooming for the raking. Yesterday, it stopped raining for a few hours, he came down the drive in his tractor. It is not often you see a tractor come down your driveway in the city so it thrills me every time. Ok, I thrill easy. My driveway is nice and fluffy now.

I still need rock but hopefully not as soon. Added bonus that all the weeds in the center were pulled up as well.
Good neighbors.
Y’all come back now!

About the author
I am a work at home Mom of two of the best boys ever. I am a Nationally Certified Master Groomer and have been grooming out of my home for the last 12 years.
We have recently moved to Greenbrier Tn on 27 acres. We are new to the "homesteading thing" but we are excited to learn. We hope to be filling our farm with many critters and a garden.
We are homeschoolers so everything is a unit study to us. It has been fun to see the boys help Dad cut firewood. We will also be learning how to build a chicken coop in the near future as well.
I have been making handcrafted soap lately as well and I am seeing an improvement in that business as well. It is all natural vegetable and goat milk based soaps. Can't wait to share this experience with everyone.
good neighbors are definently a blessing!!! driveway is very cool to!
Is that your driveway? or a road? it sure seems long… ;^)
You seem to be such a busy little bug lately, would love to chat, when would be a good time to call ya?
