snowdrift

snowdrift
pristine white fluff
deceptively light weight
until i’m outside clearing it

Yeah, remember a few weeks ago when I was lamenting the lack of snow? I’m not doing it so much now.

Ayeka and I woke on Sunday to find ten inches outside our door, and given our city’s law (sidewalks must be clear twelve hours after daybreak or the end of snowfall, whichever is later), I trundled outside to take care of it. It started out easy – even went so far as to clear the neighbors’ walk – until I tackled the driveway….

Ugh.
