Kindness on a Snowy Day

What a change in 24 hours! We went from bike riding on a sunny day in the valley to being blanketed with
12 inches of snow overnight. No bike riding for us anytime soon!
                               This is what 12 inches looks like on our outdoor table - One big cake!
I mentioned in my first posting that this town is full of caring people. This photo is evidence of it.
When we woke up in the early morning, our driveway was partially shoveled and a path was made to our stairs. Quite unexpected! Our kindhearted neighbor did this for us after plowing the street as well. Among
other things, he is also a volunteer firefighter when needed.
When I went for a walk to see the beauty of the snow, I discovered another act of kindness. A young wife was digging out this snow covered car for her husband who was asleep since he worked the night shift. She
told me it would probably take her all day to do it for him.I was witness to only a few kind gestures. I'm sure
there were other generous people helping each other out on this snowy day.

On the way to town, we caught a glimpse of this deer before it disappeared into the woods with the others.
                                         In the center of town stands the Harmony monument.
                                                   This eagle is also part of the monument.
                                               Wooley's is a great little gift shop in town.
The day full of shoveling was rewarded by snow angels......
  and trails covered in snow.
It all began with an act of kindness.
