True Friends are Better Than Gold!

A big tree on our property north came down and blocked the driveway

We got a call from our neighbour up north that one of the big trees was down on our lakefront property.

A small part of the fallen tree landed on our neighbour's driveway.

We were anxious about this news.

Feeling anxious about the damage to our little cabin, we drove up north for the weekend to assess the damage.

When we got to our property, we saw a big soft maple tree down blocking our driveway completely and also a little bit of our neighbour's.

But we were so thankful that there was no real damage to our little cabin except the lock was broken on the front door.

Our friend helped us to clear part of the tree

I went over to see my neighbour and she was quite upset. She told me that we needed to remove the part of fallen tree from their property and that her husband could do it, but not for free. She suggested $300.00 for her husband to remove that part of fallen tree.

We cleared our neighbour's drive way

I took a look at it; it was not a lot. Frankly, I was surprised that they did not remove it since it had been sitting there for almost two weeks according to my neighbour.

A true friend is better than gold!

Our friend who was with us to see the damage came prepared. He took out his chain saw and started cutting the fallen trunk.











With our friend cutting away the branches, my husband and I removing the cut pieces, we were able to clear the fallen part of the tree landed on my neighbour's oil tanks. It was less than an hour's work.

We also went around and marked the trees that need to be trimmed or removed.

I was really glad that our friend was here to help us. He has been extremely busy with his own property in another town, but he was willing to take time out of his busy schedule to lend a hand to help us!

We numbered the trees to be trimmed or cut down

Good friends who are willing to help in times of need are like gold, even better than gold!











We are extremely grateful we have true friends just D.M.!
