Off-season

What do we do now?

Read, I guess. Shovel snow or at least prepare to shovel snow. Make vacation plans. Daydream.

Sigh.

  1. Daydream about books featuring vacationers shoveling snow.

    Sound good?

  2. I enjoy sitting in front of a warm fire in my pajamas, sipping hot chocolate (maybe with a little peppermint schnapps), and watching my neighbor outside shoveling snow.

  3. My neighbor is an obsessive shoveler. If he could, he'd be out there with an oversize mitt, catching every flake before it landed on his precious driveway. A robust coffe with a dash of Galliano would be an excellent accompaniment to watching him shovel.

  4. Bruce with His Snow Blower, March

    Once again skimming off the cream
    of last night’s snow, he moves
    more slowly now under the weight
    of early March, like an old man
    with his walker down long white
    corridors, the old pioneer remembering
    how in November he broke
    the first heavy snow with his plow
    and opened up the vast territory of winter.
