On Wednesdays all over the internet bloggers post a photo with no words to explain it. The idea is the photo says so much it doesn’t need a description.

Oh my-this Southern girl hasn’t ever seen that much snow to shovel. I think I would just go back to bed. I am impressed with your perseverence!!!

This is probably the last of the BIG SNOW photos, Janet. We are heading to Fort Myers Saturday for ten days of sun, fun and lots of golf.

Oh Cheryl, I can’t even comprehend that much snow in March! You are a brave soul to contend with it on a daily basis. Hope the thaw comes soon!

That pile on the upper deck of the guest house will only be an annual event and may be a quirky kind of marker that the thaw is coming, Carole. The building we restored has a barn-shaped steel roof and the warming days sent the entire snow load sliding onto the deck.

I had the same reaction Carin did — that someone had had enough and said, “Okay, done here.” And left the shovel to mark the spot. That is one steep snowbank! Spring’s definitely around the corner. There were people drinking beer on a patio in Unionville on Sunday — that’s a sure sign. That looks like a long walkway to shovel … but if there’s something hot (or alcoholic) at the end of it, worthwhile I’m sure.

It’s actually the lake-side deck of the guest house, Allyson. It was invigorating enough work that I didn’t need coat or gloves. Now if I had to do that on a regular basis …

Ugh. It’s just around this time of year that one has had enough! That said — I’m away from home right now in the Ottawa Valley, and while I feel done with snow, today it started falling gently and looked just beautiful…

I’ll always take snow over the mud of spring … smells like worms! Today’s snowfall was pretty!

Here in Newfoundland that last big snowfall, usually after Easter, always after St. Patrick’s Day, is called Sheila’s Brush. I’m not sure why but whoever Sheila is she sweeps through in one last fury of whiteness. The glimpse of your new home in the background is part of what makes this photo so enticing: the contrast of cold snow and hard work shovelling with the sense of cosiness.

🙂 You are too funny, Gilly! It’s snowing outside my window as I write this … lovely, lazy, big, fluffy flakes drifting on a gentle wind. Recent heavy rain has melted most of the big snow banks and drifts. So to answer your question, hopefully by the beginning of April. We usually get a big blow one more time before the end of March.

Ah, yes, Spring is in the air! This shovel feels like the rugged northern cousin of Allyson’s ‘buttercup yellow’.
I also love the very clear sense of “That’s it, that’s all, I’m done!” Am picturing whoever cleared the walk is now having a cup of well-deserved cocoa. (:

How about a tumbler of ‘quiet’ Scotch, Carin? It was me. The mound was shoulder height. Sliced it off in slabs, then pushed it over the edge of the deck. It rained heavily up there Saturday night and this wall of snow came slamming off the metal roof of the guest house in one load! The lake side entrance to the guest house is to the left, behind that wall … if you peek through the trees beyond the deck you can just make out the future home.
