It snowed, sleeted and then we had freezing ice last weekend. We’ve been stuck with very cold temperatures. This has made getting out into the world very difficult. Our entire property line has not been shoveled which is a first for us. I don’t think anyone is going to complain. We have, perhaps, a quarter more to do. We can really only work in 1 hour shifts at the end of the day because of our real jobs. And, 1 hour is about all we can handle of beating inches of ice and then scooping it up and into piles. We have what look like mini icebergs everywhere.
We aren’t alone. The neighborhood is completely covered in these piles. Our streets are mostly clear which is not true of many other neighborhoods and so most people are just walking on the street. Honestly, that’s not that different around here. It is surprising to see that behavior on the main street, but people don’t have much of a choice.
We went over to bust my mom out of her house yesterday afternoon. We managed to make a path from the backdoor to our car and then we slip-slided out onto the road and went to a new Mexican restaurant. I think she was thrilled to see other humans.
