Breath!



Linda has been very cheerful shoveling and dealing with the snow... until this morning. She has been having fun keeping the driveway and walks free of snow. It is hard work but great exercise. That all changed this morning. She woke up to find that the snow plow had taken all the snow from the court across the street and piled it in front of her driveway! There was a huge wall of ice crusted, packed, snow! She actually cried. I tried to kiss her and cheer her up, but she was fuming mad. The snow was so hard she could not get the shovel into the top layer to even start shoveling. She cried some more. After calming down, she hacked and chipped her way though it and finally was able to move enough to squeeze her car out of the driveway. As soon as she hears that plow truck coming down the road, she is running outside and giving him a good scolding! UPDATE: The two guys did come back through around noon. One was riding this little Bob Cat tractor, the other had a regular bulldozer. They were smashing into curbs, signs and narrowly missed Linda's brand new mailbox. She ran out and stood at the end of the driveway. Instead of dumping the snow in our driveway, they dumped it in the guys across the street. He came out yelling and screaming at the men. They just ignored him and kept filling it up more.
