Our arrival at Andy's house made an impression on us since Barbie could not be parked in the driveway. We circled the block determining that Barbie had to be parked in the back yard.
No sooner were we in the process of backing her in between a blue spruce tree and another unknown type of tree, we were approached by a white haired, pony-tailed lady that barely came up to my shoulder. Betty, as she introduced herself to us, came to give Andy the key to the house the previous owner left in her keeping.
Andy explained the issue we were having in backing Barbie into the yard and in no time at all Betty was back with two sizes of buck/bow saws. "You can give them back tomorrow. Goodnight." We just looked at each other.
Next morning Andy met the other neighbor, Larry. As it turned out, Larry is the village handyman. He immediately offered any help he could. We found a lawn mower in the shed, unknown if it worked. Larry told Andy if it didn't he had an extra mower we could use. By that afternoon Andy had a new mower - the one Larry offered for us to use. By that evening Larry and Andy were going through the house discussing what needed to be done with the various ways to get it done. Andy has been overwhelmed by the generosity and kindness of his neighbors.
In addition to the kindness of his neighbors, I found the attached flowers growing in his yard. I decided to cut them before Andy mowed them down.
