Shoveling and that Lantern
March 24, 2018
Hello,
Leroy and I went out at 7:30 to shovel
this wet, heavy, spring snow. It packed well as it dripped into piles. It was definitely
exercise! I noticed that our neighbors, one set who seldom shovels, had already
been out. “Look at that,” I exclaimed, “They have already shoveled.”
“I am not surprised as I heard someone
shoveling at 4:00 this morning.” Leroy responded.
Life is full of wonders.
After about three hours we went back
out and again shoveled that cement sidewalk which we could no longer see. I am
thankful that we did not wait much longer as the snow was again heavy with
increasing wetness. It has snowed since then, but there must be enough heat in
the sidewalk to keep it melted because it is still clear.
I almost feel nervous about admitting
it, but I like snow, especially when I do not have to drive anywhere. We were
aiming to make snow people, but that did not happen. In spite of the snow being
packable it did not want to hold together well enough to make people. I settled
for a snow bunny. Leroy took a picture, but there is not enough contrast in the
snow colors to see it clearly. Here is the link so you can guess what you are
looking at beside my boots.
Leroy did not understand that the
lantern was only seven dollars. He had understood me to say that it was seven
dollars off. He did not talk about it, but I will go to the service counter
next time I am in that store and see if they will take more money from me as I do
not feel right about it. Then I can sleep more comfortably.
