The thought occurred to me yesterday, as I laboriously made my way from the driveway to the front door, “Why do I have a sidewalk?”
Every shovel length of snow required three to four “layer” passes to get to the concrete. After the third step up to the porch, I thought about how lucky the FedEx delivery person was. I had just cleared a narrow path for him, and probably him alone. Friends use the back porch or walk through the garage to enter. Amazon has taken to the driveway or back porch on occasion. I don’t think any Jehovah’s or Mormons will be out until summer, so they won’t benefit from my labors either. Therefore, I promptly renewed my efforts and took to the back of the house where the hot tub sits. Now here was a walkway that would get far more use!
As short a jaunt as it is, it took me far longer to free from the weight of the spring snows than it did to liberate the front door. However, the benefits were felt within hours of my endeavor.
I’m just fortunate to have this problem.
Welcome Home Rene! Your fingers will limber up with the sewing, cooking, hot-tubbing, etc,etc, that you will enjoy, and we rejoice. Our snow is gone, boo-hoo, the garden is ready for spring, and so are we. I’m waiting for daffodils to bloom, but it’s too soon. Love June
