on New Year’s day in the morning, I went out the patio doors and shovelled the decks…
then I walked around to the front and did the sidewalks and steps…
I used the shovel by the back door and it was very noisy, lol… it has a metal piece along the front and makes a scraping noise as it is used…
the one I normally use is plastic and much quieter…
I started at the back because I was waiting for my first-footer to arrive so didn’t use the front door…
twice during the day people commented that I was the only person they knew who followed this tradition, and also that when I was gone, the tradition would probably go with me, lol…
