Six inches on the deck, eight inches on the lawn, let's call it seven inches of snow on the overnight. Wet, heavy snow that was a sonofagun to move, but we have persevered. Argent the Valiant Subaru is, hopefully, up to breaching the minor wall left behind by the town plow.
It's 31 degrees F, and snowing lightly.
Whoever thinks with longing of the quiet and peace of the countryside has never had a tree-full of redwing blackbirds loudly ridiculing your shoveling style in-between demanding accessible bird seed right!now!
Just sayin'
So, a path shoveled, the car excavated, the birds fed, the cats cookiefied, kibbled, and watered. Need to pack a lunch and decide what shape breakfast will be in this morning, then off to work.
Edited to add: And just as I hit "post" the power blew out the Windows machine, so I'm adding this note via the Linux box and LJ's saved draft.
If you see Steve Miller on the road this morning, wave!
