Where's My Shovel

As I sit here writing my next prose, It has begun to snow, Its beauty overshadows the end result. I know that come tomorrow I will need to shovel the driveway, If I want to get out and about. Then I start thinking about the warmer days of spring and summer. I really can't watch the grass as it grows, but I know I will eventually need to cut it back, weekly-seems like a big deal to me. The leaves of autumn eventually end up on the ground and need to be raked and bagged, several times a season if need be. All of these things require a great deal of effort, except for the winter snow, it is the one deal breaker. If I so choose, I can just stay in, until it melts, and just enjoy the beauty, in all its splendor. Ok...who am I kidding, Kohls department store has a new summer clothing line that comes out tomorrow, "honey, where's the snow blower?"

Hello Vickie Thayer, for 5 days I shoveled the deck. Because it piled up at the patio door. The snow was heavy, I used a pushed shovel that was not so bad. I was able to feed the squirrels and the birds. Now it is Spring thaw and the snow melted. I am glad. have a nice day my friend

Thanks Darlene, I really love the snow and I as well feed the birds and the squirrels. My cats enjoy watching them as they gorge in front of our window. Have a lovely day!
