My wife practices Wicca – I call her a witch.
She always
tells me to be careful what you wish for; because wishes are open ended and you
never know what will come along with your desired.
Yesterday I
was looking forward to the forecast blizzard.
I love a snow storm and the new white snow that seems to cleanse the
earth.
It snowed
all day yesterday and last night was a whiteout. This morning when I got up and looked out the
window… I couldn’t find our car.
We had received well over two feet of snow.
The snow was so
deep it was higher than the intake mouth of my snow blower. I had
to break the snow up with a snow shovel before trying to move it with the snow
blower. In other words, I had to shovel
the drive (about forty yards) before I could snow blow the driveway.
I started at
seven-thirty and finished around ten-thirty.
Three hours and my 70+ year old ass was dragging. I still have the roofs to rake and I am going
to have to break trail to my wood shed with snowshoes – but that will have to
keep till tomorrow.
The snow,
coming off the roof, is up to the base of our windows, and this is just
December; with January and February yet to go.
But it is
beautiful
And it is
winter in Maine
And I love
it.
