Trials and Tribulations

In case you hadn’t noticed, it’s snowing here. And it’s grocery shopping day. So, TW wandered out about 45 minutes ago to shovel the sidewalk and throw snow from the driveway so we could go out.

First she cleaned off my car, which is a smart place to start.

Then she shoveled around my car, which is also a good place to start.

Then she did some other stuff which involves the snow shovel and the snow thrower. I don’t quite understand the science of it but I know she does it. While she was using the snow thrower – the handle came off. This is apparently bad? And now we have to go find parts for the snow thrower? Which seems problematic since I don’t know what kind we have (thanks for sending it, Deanna. It really has been the most awesome gift!) or where to get parts. Maybe we can order them online somehow? Whatever, we’ll figure it out.

While she was shoveling and throwing the snow, the nice neighborhood snow plow cleared our street – and left a big ball of snow at the end of our driveway, which TW has to shovel or we can’t get out of our driveway.

And while she was doing all of that, my car became covered with snow again and she had to clear it off again.

Yea. It’s like that. And will be like that for the next five months or so.

  1. Our first ‘real’ snow this winter…and it’s not officially winter yet. I think we have to pace ourselves Denise. Cheers to TW for getting out there and shoveling. I moved my car so the plows could get my side of the street….hate having to worry about that; but that’s how it is in my little corner of the world. Joe shoveled my walk…thank you Joe. I’ll continue to hope for a mild winter….but I don’t think it will help much. Warm hugs to you guys… ~Joy
