Thanks for the fertilizer

Nov 12, 2014

I would like to express my thanks to the person or persons unknown for their efforts in helping me fertilize my lawn. As I was using my lawn mower to mulch the leaves I was surprised by a pile of fertilizer hidden under a pile of leaves. How thoughtful. How generous. This is not the first time I have been the benefactor of such a gift, so I thought it time to express my gratitude. I have spent 59 of my 66 years living in various cities, so I guess that makes me a city boy. As such, I am not accustomed to such thoughtfulness and generosity on the part of my neighbours. Don't get me wrong, I have had my share of good neighbours over the years, but they too were city folk and by and large didn't reach these heights of neighbourliness. Pity.

I find myself at a loss about how to repay such a gesture. I don't have a dog- only a cat. A house cat. I have, however long considered the joys of owning a horse.
