There was heavy snow in New Jersey yesterday. Yesterday I spent a few hours shoveling while it was still coming down. Thank goodness! The accumulation this morning would have been significantly more daunting, otherwise. The main road in front of my house was well plowed and getting to work should have been fine, once my car was uncovered. What I wasn't counting on was the amount of snow that the plows had pushed in front of my driveway. It was hard and heavy and about three feet high and four feet deep and across the front of my car. So...we got to work and about nine "man hours" later the problem was solved. However, another area that we count on for extra parking was absolutely covered with deep, hard snow because of the plowing. (Please note that I am very grateful for the wonderful job that my town does clearing the roads. The resulting snow on my property is just the collateral effect.) When I took this photo it was because I had just realized that there was no real reason to have shoveled the walk since no one would be parking and approaching the front door from this direction. The lesson I learned was that even when we are faced with what looks like a dead end, it is often temporary in nature. Snow melts. Circumstances change. Health improves. The check clears. The sun comes out. We get a good night's sleep. We speak to our coach!
