What chore do you find the most challenging to do? Shoveling snow!

What chore do you find the most challenging to do? Shoveling snow!
4 am cleaning off the car; bkfst with friends, and then picking up some of my boss’s family, and birding. Obviously we could set up the scope on the road, since it was flooded and nobody was going on past this point. Saw many birds, but only one new bird! It always felt good to get back in to the car, to travel to the next site.
Rain all day yesterday, now snow today! ❄ Roads messy, but tolerable. Side roads and streets not cleared yet. The scenery is beautiful.
This scene greeted me as I drove up to pick up my taxi customer! Interestingly there was some snow falling, for the first time this year!

Goldfinch in the Afternoon After the Snowfall – November 14, 2021
In front of this stove is where I like to spend my time during the snowfall!
My wife, Alice, and our son, Dustin enjoying an early morning walk during the late Winter snowfall.
We meet a neighbor, and Alice joins her to catch up with the latest news. This is a close-up, and the next photo they qualify for a “Where’s Waldo” photo!
Another friendly neighbor is out making sure the squirrels have some food handy with this late snowfall. Do “April Showers Bring May Flowers” even if they are snow showers! It’s now April, so Spring should be right around the corner.
This has been a typical Winter sunrise for the last several weeks in snow-covered Ohio. Not sure if we will see this again before another Winter. It is framed with my passenger side window.
Yesterday we had temps in the 50’s, and the snow basically disappeared, so wondering if this horse shed his man-made Winter coat. I hear the temps are dipping again tonight!
april in Ohio
we see all kinds of weather
today it snowed!
I decided to try to write a haiku, since it was International Haiku Day. I confess, the photo was from this previous winter. Today’s snow was a nice dusting, which was mostly gone by 10 am.
