beautiful, big girl pants, change, falling, kids, shovel, snow, snowblow, storm, widow

there had been lots in the news for a few days that we were going to get a big snowstorm but we’ve dodged every one that had been mentioned all winter…

until Sunday night, lol… it started with rain and by morning everything was covered in snow…

and it kept falling all day… stopped late in the afternoon…

we are used to snow and storms here… most people went about their daily business… it was just a storm, lol…

when I got home I could not see where the sidewalk was… the snow had covered everything completely… even the trees were weighed down with the beautiful, but very heavy, snow…

I was very lucky because my kids came over and shoveled and snowblowed, clearing the sidewalks and driveway…

today it was as if nothing had happened… another example of how things can change in a very short time…

Shovelling…

shovelling, snowblow, texted

yesterday I texted my son-in-law to see if he could come by and shovel out to the hot tub…

I did something to my arm and haven’t wanted to shovel and make it worse so the one piece I usually do – from the back door to the hot tub so I can walk out in my slippers – hasn’t been happening…

occasionally I will shovel the front steps and sidewalk, but usually when the kids come over on Sundays for dinner, one of them will do any needed shovelling…

I don’t have any pictures of Jeff shovelling because when he’s doing it I am often not here… like yesterday, when he snowblowed as well… now I have a lovely open area to get to the hot tub… and he even cleared a space out in the back lane so that maybe the garbage guys will pick mine up…

tonight, while I was in the tub I was thinking I might need to consider hiring someone so I don’t have to keep calling on them…

George did nearly all the shovelling, except when his health meant we had to hire someone…
