February 12th-Snow storm

Shoveled for about 2 and a half hours today and there is still more snow coming.  In between shoveling and taking breaks from shoveling I got a little bit of cleaning and reorganizing done in the kitchen.  Not as much as I had hoped, but I slept until noon, so that was good.  I am still not sure that this hike will be a reality this year, or ever.  Hopefully ever.  There is so much to be done.  Work seems to take up more time than it should.  Part of that is my tendency to fall asleep when I get there or having to pull over on the way because I am tired.  Tonight I hope to turn in very soon after posting this and hopefully start off the week well.  Getting out of the house early on Mondays would be great.  It won't happen tomorrow because I will need to shovel again first.

Anyhow, today's happy is copied from what I wrote in Map My Hikes program:

Number 2 shoveling done for the day. A not so short telling. If people don't mind not being able to open their car door my driveway can fit at least 6 cars. There are 2 parked there now to shovel around. I live on a narrow road that will allow, barely, 2 cars to pass one another. Generally one pulls as far over as they can to let the other go by. The plows don't plow about 2-3 feet off my side of the road making it even more challenging for drivers. This, as well as my driveway, I get to shovel. I try not to make the piles by the road too high because I won't be able to see cars coming when exiting my driveway. Tonight as I was pushing the snow from the road, passed the cars, and over the already high snowbank, I decided that using the sled would be more efficient. I am not sure if it was or not, but it was more fun. Fill the sled, drag it back and over the snowbank, dump it out, ride the sled to get back to the driveway. It was probably only 3 feet high, and got shorter the more I used it, still more fun than just shoveling. There will be more to shovel in the morning and I hope I can still lift my arms then. ;)

This stuff is good.

Me, after being out in the snow around an hour and 45 minutes.

After Round 2-still needs work but I was tired.

Snow falling.
