Snow

To all of us Manitobans, snow and wind are common winter occurences. We woke yesterday to one of those beautiful winter days when everything is covered with a blanket of snow and there is absolutely nothing "out of place".
Today, however, reality has set in. I borrowed our neighbour's snow blower and tackled our driveway and sidewalk. After that, I went over to our neighbours and started on his driveway. Unfortunately, one of the things that had been out of place, and now covered with snow was an extension cord he used to plug in one of his several vehicles. The snow blower found it. His extension cord is now several feet shorter. And, the snow blower needed a new bolt in the front auger.
So, several hours later, the snow blower repaired and stored back in the owners garage, I was back in the house. My love for that beautiful white snow is still there, only slightly diminished.
