Last night we had our first true snowfall since moving to Maine. Our house is surrounded by trees, and we woke to a virtual wonderland this morning: lacy filigree hung from all manner of pine trees, decorative shrubs and varied bushes. The peacefulness was astounding...or at least it was for the first hour of the day, before my husband decided to fire up his favorite new toy: Enter the snow blower.
So now, in addition to the piercing sound of the chain-saw when we are visiting our rural home in New York's serene Hudson Valley, we have the noxious gas fumes and insistent whirring of the snow blower here in Maine.
I am hopeful that at the upcoming climate summit in Copenhagen, they will outlaw Mitch Rouda.

NO to the snow blower, it would do his back good to shovel by hand, I mean of course, with the shovel. It also makes noise but there are long intermittent pauses....
after the rain on top of the snow last night, which made it impossible to just push the snow away-(the snow stuck to the shovel!) I seriously considered buying a snowblower too!! They make electric ones that are quieter....
