Grateful tears. Yesterday, I took out a couple of boxes to the recycle bin. When I rounded the corner, I noticed many many changes! All the wisteria that had been taking over the house was GONE! There was still some growing in one area of the fence, but HOLY CRAP! Today, I heard a chainsaw out back so I hobbled outside to see what other magic was happening. My wonderful beautiful angel of a mail lady and her husband were cleaning up the rest of the wisteria and other crap (Virginia creeper and whatever those rubbery tree looking things with the red berries are, etc.) from the back and side yards. I cried. Right there in the driveway. I have no idea what I have done to deserve such feats of generosity, but I am so so grateful for her.

You are deserving of kindness and a helping hand! The people obviously know that and are the type that walks the walk, just like you.

You are a kind person who had done a lot of good in the world. Without you, I would not have a friend and two bad pooches. Please know that you are valued.
Clearly your mail lady also sees your goodness. You deserve it.

She is a true giver, that’s for sure. I’m now trying to figure out what I can do for her. Maybe another gift card?

A thank you note is more.

Well, of course I’d write a note. The gift card would be included! I’m always leaving her thank you notes. It just doesn’t seem enough in this case. This was a HUGE task. If I had to hire someone to do it, it would have cost me close to $1k. Easily. They had to climb on the fucking roof!

And they did a fantastic job!

You have no idea. I wish I had some before photos. Just accessing the trash bins was a challenge! And, AHS took all the planters, old trellises and other stuff that I didn’t think they would. She has someone in mind to come haul away all the debris. She said I’ll have to pay him, but I’m willing.
I ordered an Amazon gift card ($300) but now am second-guessing myself. I wish I’d ordered a Visa instead. I can do that for Christmas, I guess.
I know the snake was looking for a cool spot. I’m thankful for him, as long as he’s snatching the mice that want to invade. When I came back from watering, he had moved a bit so that I had to disturb him again to put the watering can away.
