digging out

there is one lane "traffic" on our street
if I meet another car tomorrow on my way to work
one of us will hopefully be in a position
to pull into a driveway
when I was outside today
having knitted enough
and generally bored myself
it felt good to feel cold
and dig out a path for the post man

no mail in the box
a strange sense of time standing still

I did go through many studio boxes today
and have things set aside to give away
finding things I have totally forgotten about
is fun and it costs nothing to find
"new" toys for art and decorating

this digging out is much more challenging
than heavy shovels full of snow
lift the snow
heave it
leave it
and the mountains will eventually melt
away on their own

I like doing a very neat job with the snow
it looks like progress has been made
a task accomplished
and when we do it as a team
I really enjoy that best
the other day during the blizzard
it was fun to laugh with Bryan
might as well
we knew we were gloing to be able to get
warm
and to always remember the storm
