The snow plow fairy came to my house a couple days ago!!! Tuesday evening was spent clearing out enough of my driveway that I could get my car past the sidewalk, and clearing the sidewalks so I wouldn't be fined by the city. With a 110 foot sidewalk on one side and a driveway at least that long on the other side...it takes me awhile!
When I came home Wednesday, my first thoughts were "whew...at least the snow plow didn't plow me in again!". As I pulled into my drive, however, I saw that someone had plowed my entire driveway, cleared out in front of the garage and back doors, shoveled my porch and sidewalk off, and cleared the entire sidewalk from alley to road. Talk about "happy dancin'"!!!
My first thoughts were that my neighbor did it because I had joked with him the previous night that it must be nice to have a snowblower like he does, instead of a plastic shovel, like me. As I started to walk over there to thank him, I noticed that he was out shoveling his porch off with a shovel...and he had just got home from work. Couldn't be him.
His wife confirmed that she had seen someone with a small tractor/plow in my driveway earlier in the day, but didn't know who it was. I looked at all the properties around me, and no one else had a plowed drive. So I was evidently singled out. I feel like I must have had good karma that day. What a treat!!!!!
Since I couldn't thank them in person, I made a big sign and put it atop a snow drift by my driveway. Hopefully they will see it.
In the meantime....I feel blessed.
These days this kind of gesture is very uncommon. You don't see this kind of stuff from people everyday, and if you do, they usually let you know who they are so that they can get credit for what they have done.
