Why People Don’t Retire In Maine

If you’ve never had to shovel 2-plus feet of snow off your roof, then you just won’t get how exhausting that effort really and truly is. We are in the middle of a storm right now, but that huge amount of snow we were shoveling off our roof was early. This was from previous snowstorms. We had to do it because we just didn’t want our roof to collapse under the weight of snow especially since 20 more inches were projected for today.

But wait, I didn’t do it alone. Oh no, we all suffer together in this household.
Yes, she’s smiling now. After 10 minutes, no more smiles, believe me. (K says this last part isn’t true.)

Our sheds and the snow plowed up around them. No, I refuse to shovel off our sheds roofs. If they collapse, oh well.

Inviting, huh? If you come to visit, please shovel the path to our door.

An action shot. Believe it or not, we started at 1 pm and it pretty much took three hours to shovel off just one portion of our roof. More tomorrow and I won’t be posting because I’ll be too busy napping.
