I will readily admit that I did not enjoy Hurricane Fiona. We were out of power for fourteen days. We have another month before a technician can come and reconnect our internet at home. Overall, it was just not a fun experience.
However, there were some bright spots.
One of them was that we were able to get to know our neighbours. We have lived here in Brookfield for about eight months but we really have not gotten to know our neighbours well.
In the aftermath of the hurricane, with all of us cleaning up downed trees and branches, we had opportunities to chat. It was amazing to be able to spend some time with these wonderful people that we have lived near for months.
Knowing our neighbours was always one of our goals in moving to a small village. However, life can get busy. Sometimes it takes a hurricane to make the important things happen.
We hope to have more opportunities to get to know our neighbours in the coming weeks and months.
