One of my mother-in-law's favorite expressions when someone was bothering her, was to tell them to go pound sand. I didn't pound any sand today, but I moved some. I estimate the total to have been about 200 pounds. The photos...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382240) • Rockingham, Australia 29 Oct 21

When we free-camped at Greenbushes Pool in Western Australia, we went for a walk around the pool. There are toilets there, rubbish bins and also a playground. I reckoned Vince would be dying to try out the little shovel affair...

Joanie @Freelanzer (10782) • Canada 26 Dec 16

It came like a thief in the night starting after supper on Christmas day. We awoke this morning landlocked in our home. There would be no Boxing day shopping today. Piles of snow covered everything including the snow blower....

Should I Feel Guilty?

Kathy @kamel622 (310) • United States 1 Mar 16

The other day we were at 50 F (10 C) and this morning I woke up to 14 F (-10 C) and it was snowing. It snowed all morning, not the big pretty flakes but little tiny flakes that came down at varying speeds all morning...

Snowing Again

Kathy @kamel622 (310) • United States 16 Feb 16

Yesterday my hubby and I spent about 40 minutes outside shoveling. While we do have a snow blower this was light fluffy snow that was easy to push with the snow shovel. We got the driveway, sidewalk and walkway all clear. This...

More snow on the way

Suzanne @Morethanamom (1948) • Canada 13 Jan 16

Yesterday we had snow squalls, which left us with whiteout conditions. It also meant that the driveway and sidewalk needed attention. We do have a snowblower, but it needs to be repaired before we can use it. That meant that I...

Hello to all of my myLot friends. Yesterday, and the day before, my city of Denver/Aurora, was hammered with snow. We got about 2 feet all together after all was said and done. I thought about all the elderly who would have...

Snow Business

NailTech @NailTech (6874) • United States 8 Jan 13

You can shovel it, blow it, plow it, salt it, or melt it. Some have even converted their lawnmower into a snow-blowing machine. What’s the best way you’ve found to get rid of the snow on your driveway or sidewalk? We mostly just...

Where do I put it all?

webeishere @webeishere (36313) • United States 24 Dec 09

This photo shows the fenced area near my back porch with snow stacked half way up the 6 foot fence. You can see the porch cement right by the edge of the pile. Each year when we get a lot of snow the piles get too high. Then I...

I love that song. But this isn't about that kind of turn. This photo shows the work I am doing today on and off in my garden. I am turning over a new area that was extended from the old garden bed. I do it by hand as opposed to...
