We fail at snow
Dec. 20th, 2009 03:35 pm...But as a California girl, I'm okay with that. Sir Now Appearing has no such excuse, being a Midwesterner.
Me: So, do we happen to have a snow shovel?
Sir NA: Yes! I mean, uh. In the shed?
We both contemplate the shed, buried in a snow drift, impossible to access without -- you guessed it -- a snow shovel.
Fortunately we are indifferent gardeners, and left a rake and a regular shovel within easy reaching distance of the back door. We've dug my car out, and tried to make a snowman, and tried to have a snowball fight. Sir NA is hacking up a lung (he recently quit smoking) so I'm a bit worried. I'm kind of relieved that the streets are plowed enough for emergency vehicles -- a neighbor had a heart attack yesterday, when they weren't. Apparently things will be open tomorrow, so I have to go to work and to the dentist and to the library and the post office and all that good stuff.
