The best neighbors

Last week, we lost a neighbor to a tragic farming accident, he will be missed.  Today when I drove into my drive I was met by the sight of two combines and several grain trucks gathered in our neighbors field.  It was a sight to behold, not only for the reason of having that many combines in one field (unusual for our Kentucky fields), but for the fact that all these farmers took time to harvest Pat's fields.  This was done out of love and respect for our neighbor and friend. It is a Blessing to live in a community where we all still care and love each other.  That we take the time to show that love for each other. 

It is sad to realize so many people will never know the true meaning of the word neighbor.  I am so Blessed that I do.

Here are a few pictures I shot:

 I could never get both combines in the same shot

 you can see the dust from the second one here

Pat you will be missed in this small community for the leader you were.

Last night we celebrated our next door neighbors Birthday. Niel turned 15 and all the neighborhood went to Tumbleweeds to celebrate. The above picture shows Niel reading a Special Birthday greeting from one of us who could not be there. (Wonder who that is?)
So sad when everyone but you knows what your getting isn't it? Yep everyone but Neil knew he was getting his own cell phone. The package was put behind him and then Donnie called the number, wish I had caught that expression.

Here is Ginny a dear friend of mine besides being a neighbor. It is always so nice to celebrate good times with good friends. As you can see all of us had a great time. Ginny is a very accomplished crocheter and has lovely items in her Etsy Shop.

This is Rachel and Norm, gotcha Norm. He hates having his picture taken patience once again pays off and I have a couple good ones Rae! I have to sneak in here she makes the most amazing bath products. I am official guinea pig ( a title I enjoy) and have been using here LOTION BAR. I went swimming yesterday and after the shower took the Bar and rubbed it on my legs and arms. It was the first time I didn't feel all itchy after being in chlorine. It is so convenient to carry, it just pops in a small tin and when you need it you take it out and rub it on your skin.

Thanking all my great neighbors and friends for the friendship and love we all have. They are like extended family to us.
