Shoveling

4 children. 4 shovels. 4x's more work then any of us could imagine.

What I did not realize is how many lessons in

shoveling I would be giving today.

It (apparently) is not an inborn ability!

In the end I am proud to say that the

girls (I'll call myself a girl)

outlasted the boys .

We are not done. But, we made a bit of progress today. There are even a few spots that I will be able to re-seed tomorrow. I will take a follow up pic and show you the lovely yard lights soon.

So it goes when you're workin for a livin

This is the view I see every day now. I can not show you him returning because by the time he returns it is long after dark. It is Spring which means installation time for docks and boat lifts. Opening fishing is this weekend - people are antsy.
They forget the ice has only been off the lake for a couple of weeks. Our business name is Boon-Docks. That is where we live and Docks is what we do.

Unfortunately it is nowhere near as sunny and warm as it was in this picture from last summer.

So, strap on your waders, grab extra clothes because you will get wet and cold. Bring a lunch and several snacks, towels, your socket wrench, and for the morning a stocking hat (it's cold dang it!) It is dock season.
