Have you considered buying a small snow blower?

I have considered them.
I've looked at electric ones.....but.....everything is plastic including the blades.....they are very light.....heavy snow, they just walk over top, i've seen them work, not impressed.
The regular kind, expensive, i find them very hard to handle, even the smaller ones, because the way my step into the house in the garage, can't get through the door to the back.....it would have to be left outside and cover it......starting them can be a real pain.
They can be arm breakers, just like the older walking tillers, which i used for years on the farm.
Thanks for your suggestion Jules.
 
Doing? Resting myself. After work I did a load of laundry, did poop-scooping duty, picked up a bunch of twigs and other random debris from the lawn, mowed the lawn, brushed Maggiecat, and now I'm resting and reading on my laptop. Maybe I'll play some solitaire.

I wish I was a little rock, sitting on a hill
Doing nothing all day long but just a-sittin still.

I wouldn't eat
I wouldn't sleep
I wouldn't even wash.

I'd just sit still a thousand years
And rest myself, by gosh!

Two days off, and I need it.
 
Celebrate Joey’s birthday then took him other to the other group home to see his brother. 😱. Home closed to visitors -they all have Covid. 😳. 🤬. Anyway, picture of Joey who wanted candles on a chocolate cake. Got him a large cupcake.1634322D-BDCB-4BEA-BD0C-93B38219E02F.jpeg
 
We are ensconced in front of the big big crackling fire.

Hub had this big Texas Red Cedar log he wanted to burn so he went and got out his
new “flame thrower”. Mom and I used to always caution him when he was building the house to be careful when handling
heavy equipment or power tools.

Well, he hurt himself opening the box - forget using it…lol, he dropped it on a book that dropped on his foot! At least no need to "drop and roll"...lol

Twice a year I defrost the freezer & this was one of the times. It’s a small commercial unit and it’s almost impossible to find a replacement so I don’t have to deal with this 3+ hour exercise. At least it’s organized now. Walked a couple of miles. Procrastinated dealing with organizing photos.
