Back from Mexico
We got back from Mexico last night (finally) after a Minnesota snowstorm had Erin and I convinced that we’d have to stay in Cancun for the night.
We had a really good time, you can check out pictures on flickr: Playa del Carmen 2007. The snowstorm ensured that I would have a nice greeting for me this morning:
This is a view from the back of my house towards the street. Not exactly the transition that I was looking for, and I spent over an hour clearing the snow from our driveway. There was so much of it that I had to ditch the snowblower and start shoveling. You can see that our house (on the left) is very close to our neighbor’s, so I can’t blow the snow to either side, its gotta go forward or backwards. This makes it difficult to use the snowblower, and it makes shoveling even worse, because I have to get a shovel full of snow, then carry it to the front yard or back yard.
Heres another shot from the front yard towards the back of the driveway:
My Dad would tell me to quit whining, but his driveway is half as long and he can blow the snow to either side. Although he does enjoy getting up to snowblow his driveway, and then the neighbor’s driveway (before they get out there), as a little “joke” on the neighbors.
