Winter Day

Snow fell during the night.  Winter is settling in for a protracted stay.  Today the wind was swirling the snow dust into a haze just a few inches above the  snow already on the ground.  The surface of the snow looked like rippling sand dunes.  It was really pretty.

I found it less attractive when I stepped outside and the cold and snow hit me in the face.  I fired up the snowblower and ripped up the relative peace of the wind and the cold.  It wasn’t fun or pretty anymore.  I yelled into my self-created snowblower storm, my face and ears were cold and I couldn’t see a thing.  Duh!  The snowblower should always point downwind.  Seems the laws of physics apply to snow.  Hmmm – who would of thought . . . . . . . The rest of my snowblower adventure was much better than the beginning.

My oldest son and I went over to our neighbor’s house to see if we could help push his car out of a snowbank.  Some of the other neighbors stopped to see if they could help.  We were unsuccessful, but sometimes it really is the thought that counts.

There’s an occasional moment when I wonder why I live here, but those moments are few and far between.  It is days like this that keep those wondering moments so far apart.

It's very calm over here, why not leave a comment?
