Gifts for the Neighbor With the 7 a.m. Leaf Blower
Saturday, 7:02 a.m. The roar begins. Three leaves are relocated from one side of the driveway to the other. It continues for 45 minutes. This list is half for them and half for you, and every pick is a genuinely good-neighbor gift. The rake is a gentle suggestion. The earplugs are self-care.
