It still works, but …
Two snows into this season, and already I know that it’s time for my trusty orange shovel to be replaced.
I’ve plumb worn this simple and honest tool of removal out.
Maybe another bag of salt is on tap, too …

After trying to shovel out that big driveway last year, I realized I can’t do it with a normal shovel. And I can’t handle my husband’s gas-powered snow blower. I need to get out on Fridays when he’s working. So we went out and bought a smaller electric snowblower just for me. Of course, now the snow is gone and it’s 55 degrees out today.

Yes, today I will pull the trigger. I have one of those curvey handled shovels out back, but I still prefer the straight-handled type for the front walk and driveway work, Beth.
