A good snow job …
Posted by Rick - 19/02/03 at 10:02:06 am
By nature snow is both beautiful and treacherous. It can cover the earth in a blanket of white, creating an unscheduled holiday for children, adults, and more importantly, an already edgy community. Plus, it makes sledding much easier. It can even make folks think they are better drivers than they really are. It forces us to stay put, then taunts us until we must get out!
This, to me, is when the beauty of a snowstorm occurs: as we dig out. As we collectively make our way out of our snowy cocoon, like baby turtles emerging from buried nests. When neighbors join together for a group archaeological dig, that feels like an old-fashioned block party, and in the process become both acquainted and reacquainted with one another.
Overall, it was a wonderful birthday blizzard.
