"What is John doing? I hear the lawn mower on both sides of the house."
So, I look out and I see John on his riding mower at the back of our home. He stops and shuts off the mower and I still hear a mower.
"Must be the man next door at the church," I say to myself, " but he mows on Thursdays. Maybe he decided to mow on Wednesday this week because the grass has grown so much."

So I go to the kitchen and look out the front window. I see a mower way down by the highway mowing our front lawn but that's not John's blue jacket and John's mower is blue, and not orange. I think I must be seeing things.
Let me digress a moment here. My husband, who is rarely if ever sick, has been plagued with a horrible cough; sneezing and blowing his nose for almost two weeks. It has to be allergies, which he has never had, because if it had been a cold, I would have had it by now. The sun finally peaks out behind the clouds after three days of clouds and rain; my husband has looked at the high grass as long as he can; he dons his jacket and cap and, upon my insistence, a cotton mask, and out he heads to his mower.
Now, back to the story. As the man on the orange lawn tractor mows his way toward the front of the house, I realize it is our next door neighbor, Dewayne Davis! Bless his heart, apparently he has seen John out mowing grass on our almost 3 acres and has volunteered to come spend part of his afternoon helping John mow our lawn.
Ann Dee Davis-Wingate and Derek Davis, you have a great dad and we have great neighbors!
Wouldn't this be a wonderful world if everyone treated their neighbor like Dewayne did today?
