Snow on Top of Snow

A week ago someone in New Berlin called my lot small, which is true in comparison to her own but false in relation to other city lots; we are both visually and in fact, the largest on the block. 

Lu finished the front but could not handle the wind tunnel of our backyard and alley, and so I was drafted into action. Ten to twelve inches of dense heavy snow, with a stiff wind and more coming down, made it hard going but not in the top ten worst of our time here.

YaYa proved an unwilling helper to LuLu and me, but help she did. 

Now, time for some pain pills before trying to get out of the alley and taking Smiley to Alys's house.
