More snow....

....fell early this morning--about another 3 inches--but by 9:30 the sun was out, making everything look so beautifully pristine! A bit slippery early on, but by the time we got back from the hospital the roads were all clear. I hired a guy to clear our walks and driveway whenever it snows more than a couple of inches; the first time we've ever done that!  Tom was always the "snow clearer" but he can't be doing that now, & I have to be careful not to throw my back out, so it seemed the best thing to do.  Tom grumbled about it, but once you come home to find all the snow cleared without either of us having  had to lift a shovel, it's worth every penny! :))
