Shoveling Snow

[qos]

I'd been thinking that getting some activity might help my mood -- and I got my chance today. My 77 year-old dad, his retired neighbor lady, and the son of their neighbors and I were all out shoveling the shared driveway late this morning. There were only three snow shovels, so we took turns. I shot the photo during one of my breaks.



We were about to go in and take a break when an ambulance pulled up across the street and another neighbor called to see if anyone had snow shovels to come help dig a path to the afflicted person's front door -- so off we went. (Nothing like flashing red lights to get one's adrenaline going!) Fortunately the situation wasn't immediately urgent, but there's a path for the EMT's to get back and forth.

When I came back inside I was shaking from fatigue, but I felt much better overall.

That is a LOT of snow to shovel! I have only been near that amount of snow once in my life, and that was when I fell into a drift! Everywhere else was only a few inches deep, but the drift hid a sunken path and I went in up to my waist! It gave my brother a good laugh, but it scared me at the time. LOL
