My Aching Back

I can’t believe I was so excited about shoveling snow. Well, I had my fix for a while. I had to shovel perhaps for about an hour even in my short driveway. Part of that is because the plows came into our neighborhood and plowed the streets… which meant that the plow pushed a huge pile of sludge [not that light, powdery stuff which was in the rest of the driveway – but that heavy, wet, icy goop that is very, very heavy] at the end of our driveway. It was almost as if the plow driver was saving it just for me.

So, I trudged through the shovelling process and finally got it done. It could be that I just don’t know the techniques or my shovel is too small, but my back is killing me. I’m sore all over. At least I didn’t need a workout!

I have finally posted my film pictures for the snow day in the directory you can get to by clicking on the picture in this post. Most of the roads are clear, except for ice in spots [this morning it was very bad, but it’s getting better as the sun is out longer]. I should be back on the road tomorrow.
