Snow - Layers

Today was mainly spent in shoveling the snow from my family's drive every few hours. There was a steady fall all day, starting with heavier density and changing to lighter flakes by the end of the day. There is something of a lesson in shoveling snow from driveways. It is an obstacle that slowly accumulates, cutting off mobility and ability to drive and get places. It is not always fun, but it needs to be done or you will get nowhere. A little work applied consistently can maintain a feeling of progress and maintenance better than procrastination and an all-or-nothing effort at the end of the day.

That said, the hours passed rather fast in between these sessions. I am contented to have a home by which I may shelter, food to munch upon, and hot drinks.

Oh, and a constructed a rather rough bloody snow angel sculpture. And a snow lizard, short lived as it was. Wings were hard to stick on the back of a snow sculpture, I got impatient after a few ambitious failures ended up on the ground.

I crocheted this hat. Very proud of it really.
