shoveling


i think a snowy day really brings people together - neighbours in particular. it brings everyone outside at the same time and allows us to engage in conversation, which i think is pretty nice.
this one gentleman almost shoveled me right off the sidewalk because he was so concentrated on his work, and then we had a laugh together. then, slightly up the street another man stopped for me to pass by and said "well, it had to happen sometime." i like having conversations, even small ones with the people who live in my neighbourhood.
