Well, we kind of had a blizzard last night, though we didn't get tons of snow. It blew quite a bit, though, so I'm glad I wasnt out in it. Still, though it wasn't tons, the snow we got overnight weighed a ton by the time we got out to shovel it. It was warm enough this morning that it was already melting and getting heavier by the second, ugh!
The man across the street with the snow blower came over before we got our boots on and had cleared half of the walk on both sides of the corner as well as our driveway by the time we got out with our shovels. *kisses him muchly, figuratively speaking* But there was still plenty of clearing to do, especially after the snowplow came through. We live on a corner and have a looooong walk on one side that is our lot, and a longish one on the other side, at the front. It is lovely having a nice amount of yard, but when it comes to shoveling... ugh, a second time. We have a bus stop near us, so there are pedestrians who need to get through, and we are responsible for keeping the walk clear. Then there is our double-width driveway...
Anyway, I basically had a workout this morning, heavy-duty weight lifting for almost an hour. Now I shall take it easy for the rest of the day, since church was cancelled. I shall go make a sustaining second breakfast as soon as I get the strength back in my arms.
I think there is more snow coming later today and tomorrow -- but right now it is raining!! Which is why I chose the above icon -- and because I couldn't wait for a "sad" day to use it! :-D GIP!

*hugs my tired Lin*
hope you didn't over do it!

*hugs you tight*
