It snowed so much it snew.
It has snowed and snowed and snowed, and then it has snowed again.
We have shoveled and shoveled and shoveled, and then shoveled again.
A snowman has been born in every yard.
I love the old fashioned carrot noses and the eloquent sticks for arms.
And the maybe nineteen inches of snow we got yesterday and today was magic and blue, like a present from the glacial North Pole.
So the joy of my morning was the unhurried shoveling of blue snow beneath the blue sky.
Also, the failed attempt at sculpting a rhino out of the white stuff.
And then, more shoveling.
A sweet smiling Latino man, shovel over shoulder, called out to me,
“Miss? Help You?”
And I smiled back and said “No Thanks,” though I am so grateful for his presence here.
And he helps remind me of more of my goals for this year, now that I am really entering 2011.
Practice some Spanish.
Go to a dentist.
Catch and spay the feral kitten we call Kaboodle/Fox.
Get a car.
Come see you!
What is it that you will do?
