I have never seen a group of neighbors pull together the way the neighbors on all sides of us do in Castle Pines Village.
This morning we were rallied early by a couple in our cul-de-sac,
Barbara and Larry Bundy. They also recruited neighbors
Lori and Grant Miller. My husband,
Kevin, and I worked as part of this group of six with shovels and two snow blowers to get six driveways cleared. Lori Miller flagged a passing snow plow driver and practically begged him to plow up the street we share. The snow plow's wheels spun in the process. But, after several "running starts", the plow made it up our hill.
One of the driveways we cleared today, in addition to our own, belongs to a neighbor at home with her two daughters. Her husband is stuck out of town. One of the driveways belongs to a neighbor at the hospital today released and ready to come home. But, without the driveway cleared she and her husband could not get to their house. Now they can.
Our backs are sore. Our hands and forearms are weak from over-exertion. But what a great workout our spirits got today.
Let it snow!
