This hasn’t been a bad winter. Truly, it hasn’t. But these last couple of weeks have been trying to prove otherwise!Right now I am sitting inside while Wonder Boy is outside using the snow blower to clear our driveway and sidewalks (and maybe taking care of our neighbors’ sidewalks as well). Last week I spent a lot of time doing the same.

Snow blowers are amazing! I should have invested in one of these years ago!

I’m grateful I have the option of working form home, but we’ve still spent a lot of time having to make it on poorly salted and cleared roads, dodging other cars. Also some mini bikes??? Here’s a picture I took of a guy drying his best to make it down a fairly busy road on a mini bike. FAIL.

Sorry for the poor photo quality. This was taken from inside the car.
He knows he looks like a fool. See the smile on his face?

I’m hoping late today I can have a little more fun with the snow. There are two sleds sitting in my basement and they need to be used!
