Well…I finally sucked it up, suited up and got out and shoveled my walks…damn, it looks like when the wind comes from the west every damn walk will have a snow drift on it…and my front walk was under 3 feet of snow as the walk alongside the east side of the house was…so a lot of damn work and even had to break it into two chunks since it was so damn cold out there my hands and feet got frozen and I had to come in to thaw them out…but it looks like the snow has eased up some and the winds are a little less than they were this afternoon….got the first sparrows on the feeder today and there was a steady stream of birds out there all day…had to fill it again today after filling it before the storm…and now I’m sitting here with the heating pad on my back to try to keep it from seizing it up…hey, it’s all the way up to 8 degrees out here…man it’s cold….my hands hurt…ow…
