Funny that you should ask that. Yesterday I got a frantic call from my daughter in law who is in DC. She called because my son made arrangements by calling the town manager up here to get a recommendation for a local to come shovel off my roof when it really gets deep-something I usually have to do about twice a winter. The daughter in law realized that no one had told either my wife or I and she was concerned that if this individual showed up unannounced and was walking around the house he might get shot. Which of course would have negated the whole shoveling the roof deal. Anyway, the son set it up for him to come by when I need him four times over the winter-that's a great xmas present. I was wondering how I was going to get that wheel chair up the ladder
I do have someone plow my drive for me as it is over 500 feet long. He was here today and dropped in with a couple of sets of deer antlers which had been dropped in his backyard. We both feed the critters in the winter and as he lives the next ridge line over we get the same deer. He's a good guy and we made arrangements with him to use the snowblower for the dogs area for the big storms so they have an area to run.
You have no idea how damn difficult it is for me to ask anyone to do anything for me, especially all the things I sort of like doing for myself. I will be glad when I am back on my feet, and hopefully that will be soon because we have a major expansion of the house planned for May.
Temperature now -7 and falling.
