Valid concern about illness or injury. I have a neighbor who I visit with often and ask advice of. I let him and his wife know that I want to do this task today...could you swing in if you go by and don't see me in the yard? I am blessed because in winter, my 2 nearest neighbors come when the snow is heavy with their tractors as they know I haven't mastered that yet. In return, I always make sure they get goodies and hot drinks in winter and will always help if asked.
