You are so right. shoveling is a great workout--I am still holding out hope for one good snow!

We sold our "lemon" snowblower earlier this year, and due to a financial pledge my husband and I made to one another we will not be buying another one until we can purchase it with cash. So, we have done a lot of shoveling this year. I too have found the rhythm of it- the beauty in the simpleness of the task. I hope you get a bit more snow soon! :)

Emily -- You are so right about the rhythm of shoveling. There's something very satisfying about seeing an ever-growing pile of snow, too.

Elena -- Like you, I want one last snowfall. Won't seem like much of a winter without one. Didn't Punxsutawney Phil see his shadow?
