Helping others is often the best feeling one can get when working. I always try and clear the snow form older neighbors lanes and such. My sons are doing most of that now.
Funny story of two spinster sisters. My Grand father first rented their farm from their Father in 1947. Over the years the family kept dying off and the two sisters ended up with the farm. Both retired school teachers. I took over renting their farm in 1978. Now the one bad thing about their farm is it sets down in a valley just at a mile off the road. Several places have high ditch banks on both sides of the road. When the wind and snow blows in the right direction the lane gets 10 foot drifts for long stretches. In 1986 we had a snow storm that filled that drive. The sisters where fine for the first 4-5 days. Then they started to run low on some things. I had been checking on them an finally got them dug out with it taking a full day on a tractor and loader. I did not own a snow blower then. Lets just say I really cold when I got back to their house. I refused any payment from them for clearing the lane. They gave me a dozen of home bakes cookies. They then insisted I take the Thermos of coffee that had made for me. I could not refuse them that. I even drank some of it to warm up. The funny is I hate coffee. For the rest of the time they lived there they would make me home baked goods and make me coffee. I would just smile and eat a cookie/cake while forcing down that darn coffee. LOL That is the majority of the coffee I have drank in my entire life. My oldest son rents that farm yet today from their nieces. They also bake him cookies and give him coffee. He at least drinks it anyway.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery.
