More Plowing

 February 23rd

My intention for today is to laugh at things that I find frustrating. 

Here are some happy things:

• Pretty white outside in the morning.

• There was an appointment I had this afternoon.  I decided to reschedule because of the storm.  When I told Zed this a gust of wind blew creating a momentary white out to the backyard.  We laughed at the timing. 
• Plowing takes a long time.  Or at least it does when there is so much snow it is hard to find a place to put it.  There is one corner that keeps giving us trouble.  I know how I will handle this next year I think.  There is too much snow and it would be a lot of work to move it this late in the season.  Anyhow, plowing is work, but it is so much kinder on my body than shoveling.  I know this for sure from shoveling out the stuck plow!  🤣🤪😂

I slid sideways into the snow bank. 
It turns out I need to consider physics when plowing!  🤣  The snow is covering about half way up the tires.

Mostly shoveled out.

The plow wouldn't push the snow through here.  There was just too much. But I'm learning more every time I plow.  The storm was worse south of here. 

• Bel and Corvidae were watching one of our housemate's pet bird.  I think the picture says it all...

Intention wrap up:  When I went outside to plow I tried to keep my intention in mind.  Getting the plow stuck has been a frustrating experience lately.  Today I breathed and thought through things better.  When I was shoveling out the plow after sliding into the snowbank, again, I realized the mistake I was making and laughed about it.  I feel like anyone watching me would have thought I was nuts as I would be plowing the snow and suddenly burst out laughing.  It was great!
