The best neighbor in the world lives across the street from me and clears my driveway and sidewalk with his snowblower, but the snow is so light and fluffy that I could not resist doing some shoveling myself.
Clio doesn't get that the weather is bad until we've slogged through the snow for a few blocks. When we finally make it back to our house, she is more than willing to call it quits. She didn't even want to hang out in the backyard for more than a few minutes while I filled the bird feeders.
Later, I fetched the skis, poles, and boots from the garage and skied up and down the block. I don't have the stamina I once had, plus I had to "break trail", so I was not at it very long. I just wanted to be able to say I did it.
The temps promise to stay cold for the next ten days or so. There is not much on my agenda this week, so maybe I will actually make it to a county park for a little slippin' and slidin'. The roads need to be plowed first, though.
My SO offered to get me a new camera, but after perusing what's available, he decided a better option was one from his collection. (Newer cameras are meant for vlogging by influencers, with pricing that is a bit steep.) This one is a Sony DSC-HX80, which still has more features than I know what to do with. Much better than by phone camera, though.
With such cold temps, the snow cover is a good thing for the ground and the plants in the ground. I still have not ordered anything for spring planting. It just feels too soon, but soon it will be too late.
Hope you are safe and warm wherever you are!
