A shoveled driveway


Accomplished



And this is from Tuesday. It has since snowed another 4 inches. Lovely. I forgot how much of a workout it is to shovel snow. I don't think I've done this since I was 15 or 16. A show of noticeable progress. It's something to do outside; where I prefer to be. It's easy during any other season; mow the law, weed, plant something. But this is about all there is to do for a grown-up during the winter. Though there is a great sledding hill on the other side of town . . . hmmm.

I love outside work. I have to say that my favorite chore ever is mowing the lawn - whether I'm tackling a huge bit of land with a riding mower, or a small lawn with an rotary hand mower. Shoveling snow, weeding, planting, raking... love it. As you say, you work hard and get a noticeable result. It is very satisfying. :)

OH... That makes my effort this morning look pathetic! LOL but I was still shaking a little from the arm workout... and by the time I finished I had removed half my clothing.. sure the neighbours loved that!
