Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow, That's what we were all singing last night as we cozied in by the fire. 12 inches later, we awoke this morning and shivered into the reality of the cleanup. Fortunately the man and his plow arrived bright and early this morning and cleared the driveway. Thank god for him and the guy that invented that whole system, just the thought of having to shovel the whole thing gives me the willies. He did however, leave those high banks of hard packed, plowed snow at the end of the walks, and around the kids car, all of which we needed to shovel through by hand. But, if you get several pair of hands pushing on the shovels, a couple kids kicking snow back where it had just been shoveled away from, and a dog that forgets where the woods are, and will go just about anywhere there is un-shoveled snow, especially that very spot that I'm going to shovel next, out there with you, soon you will have worked up a good sweat, and the work turns into fun and is done in no time. (Boy that was a long sentence, My old English teacher would have wrapped my knuckles after that one) Sadly the snow is too dry to make a snow man, so we'll have to save that fun for another time. The kids are safely on their way home, and the house is eerily quiet, and I sit here looking out on the fresh snow, perfect for winter fun, but having arrived too late for them to go skiing or snow shoeing, and their skies and snowshoes are packed back into the car unused. One good thing, as I look up at the roof, and chimney, things are ready for Santa, and I've been a good boy, really, I have.
