kittenmmm's blog post - :) Snow update

Well, the storm abated mid afternoon on Friday leaving us with about 6 inches and drifts here and there, so a bit more in some spots, a bit less in others. My son and I went out ... he to shovel paths between the barns and pens and I to feed and water the animals. I had no where to go that evening so we opted to do the driveway the next day. Probably a good choice considering the length of my driveway.

Not thinking, I had parked my car at the very end of the driveway, behind the house. So, the next day we had no choice but to shovel the entire length of the drive. The few people who've been here have an idea of how long that is. Luckily the snow was fairly light, not the nasty wet stuff we sometimes get that can break your back in short order. We did the driveway and the front walk in about an hour and a half. The worst part is always the end where the plows go by. That stuff is just packed and heavy and you have to break it to shovel it.

After we finished up with that we hauled buckets of water out for the animals. Apparently they had hunkered down and hadn't gone out to drink because they were all sucking the water down with relish. I had broken ice off the buckets last night but it had frozen again by morning.

Needless to say I've had more than my fair share of excercise for the day

gonna be sore later....kitten xxx
