We are nowhere finished with our snowy months.... good thing my arm is working much better this year....I'm definitely getting my shovelling exercise! Don't get me wrong ...I do love being out in the pristine white stuff ... it is so lovely and quiet; even the sound of cars passing by is muffled by the fluffy deep stuff we have now. The problem is, I can't throw it much higher in some areas..so, I've resorted to shovelling it all towards the road. Forget trying to pile it any higher.... I was even using my sister's technique for piling manure ... sort of flattening the cone at the top of the pile every so often to make the hill wider instead of too narrow ... which is when the balls of you-know-what roll right off with every forkful and end up at your feet again (or...worse yet, on them!...'course, usually you are wearing boots so it's not that big a deal.. ) Luckily my rolling snow balls were just that ...snow.... ..
But, the hills were still getting too steep and too conical... just the perfect sledding hills ...or so the guys thought.... and it wasn't long before several of them got out there even if it is -17C..... wheeeeeee...........
"Hang on Gingy"....!! it's pretty steep .... and almost as high as a house!
Not to be left out .... these two found another sled ....and downnnnnn they went too....
"Let's go again"......
...hellllllppppp!!
Okay guys .... time to come in now...my fingers are getting numb .....
