Overnight we got our second taste of
the coming season's snow, another "dusting" of a few inches. A couple
nights ago we had our first, I'd just finished clearing out my paths
with the snowblower in time for round two. (Dec. 23, 2010) |
This time I didn't bother with
the snowblower, just used a shovel. The other day, the snowblower was
more pushing the snow than blowing it. The trusty shovel worked fine for
this, pushing-lifting-tossing aside. |
The path between my house and
Barbara's back door -- for her convenience of her and our cat, "Gillie." |

The most important of all paths: The one out to the
firewood wood
racks from the sliding glass kitchen door. Heating almost exclusively by
a wood stove, it's critical to have
this route clear. |

Apparently there wasn't enough snow to plow -- the plow
trucks didn't stop by to clear the driveway the other day or today
either. |
The path around back, beyond the lean-to that covers a
stack of back-up firewood on pallets and the snowblower. |
