Our neighborhood has its share of joggers, bike riders and walkers (with and without their 4-legged companions). We have an opportunity to meet and greet our neighbors if we happen to be outside when one comes by. But there are two periods during the year that we increase the odds of connecting with the neighbors - Fall leaf clean-up and immediately following any measurable snow. Then we all come out - usually Sunday afternoons before Monday's leaf pick-up or the morning following a snowfall. These are times when you'll often see neighbors pitching in to help neighbors. Times when relationships are built and others rekindled. This is what a neighborhood is all about.(the photo above was taken this Fall. The identity of the "raker" is not being revealed in order to protect the "innocent" - or in this case the "not so innocent")
