I WONDER IF THEY DO ARM TRANSPLANTS BECAUSE I COULD USE A COUPLE OF NEW ONES

 IT WAS A SNOWY MORNING FOR SHOVELING SNOW

After Sunday's light snowfall, I decided to slip out and rearrange some snow this morning.  It was light and fluffy and easy to move.  Despite the 12F temperature, it was kinda nice out simply because there was no wind.  I had half the driveway done when it began to snow again, heavy this time.  By the time I finished shoveling, the snow was coming down faster than I could shovel it up.  Discouraged, I slumped back into the house.  Oh well, at least I got the paths to the bird feeders cleared and changed the feeders.  Sometimes the feeders are not empty but clogged with wind-blown snow, and the birds can't get at the seeds. And, when that happens, those birds can get quite upset with me if I don't get right out there and get those feeders promptly changed.

 THE SNOW JUST KEEPS ON COMING AND IS THAT A MALE CARDINAL OUT THERE??

 WELL, IT'S A CARDINAL BUT JUST NOT A REAL ONE

With the air clear at times and then thick with falling snow, our driveway quickly filled in again with another five inches of snow.  I was about to slip out this afternoon and re-shovel the driveway when I saw a big burst of snow fill the living room window.  At the same instant, I heard a familiar sound.  'Yay' it was our good neighbor Frank and his snowblower to the rescue.  It took him about a tenth of the time to blow the driveway clear, as it takes me to shovel it clear.  With another five inches on the ground, I did later slip out and shovel the bird paths again, plus the front and rear decks and pathways to the sheds.  I was glad Frank had done the driveway because I would not have had the energy to do that for the second time today, plus, my muscles were very sore.  I wonder if they do arm transplants because I feel I could use a couple of new ones.  By late this afternoon, we actually had a few brief sun splashes.  Oh, and here's a bright spot....in less than two weeks it will be Groundhog Day, and that is another welcome turning point to Spring:))

GROANER'S CORNER:(( Walking through Chinatown, a tourist is fascinated with all the Chinese restaurants, shops, signs and banners. He turns a corner and sees a building with the sign, "Hans Olaffsen's Laundry." "Hans Olaffsen?", he muses. "How the heck does that fit in here?" So he walks into the shop and sees an old Chinese gentleman behind the counter. The tourist asks, "How did this place get a name like "Hans Olaffsen's Laundry?" The old man answers, "Is name of owner." The tourist asks, "Well, who and where is the owner?" "Me, is right here," replies the old man. "You? How did you ever get a name like Hans Olaffsen?" "Is simple," says the old man. "Many, many year ago when come to this country, was stand in line at Documentation Center. Man in front was big blonde Swede. Lady look at him and go, "What your name?" He say, "Hans Olaffsen." Then she look at me and go, 'What your name?'" "I say, Sem Ting."

While driving along the back roads of a small town, two truckers came to an overpass with a sign that read CLEARANCE 11'3." They got out and measured their rig, which was 12'4." "What do you think?" one asked the other. The driver looked around carefully, then shifted into first. "Not a cop in sight. Let's take a chance!"
