Monday, January 25

This is what the morning sun looked like on the icicles hanging from the edge of our house roof – two days after the snow in late January.

Shadows on the snow.

Traffic was moving again, but schools were still closed.

The icicles looked white and cold at noon.

Cerwin asked the boys to shovel a pathway on the patio, and clear the porch this afternoon when he was clearing the parking lot at the TFC office.

Jared started on the driveway side of the patio.

Ian began at the other end.

Jesse worked on the porch.

It didn’t take them long to remove their coats.

Finished – 45 minutes later.

The cleared porch.

Later in the day a few of Ian’s friends – from the neighborhood – came to give him a ride.

I asked them to have him back in one hour – in time for supper.
