snow fatigue

even for me, a hardy New Englander

We shovel paths all around the yard

to give our dog Libby some room to run

and to get to grill, the kindling stash, up the back stairs

the front door, the back door

All these paths remind me of a childhood game my sisters, brother and I

created

called Witch

We would spend hours raking leaves in the autumn

to create paths in the back yard and to make houses

then we would play...

it was like tag; you could only run on the paths

and you were only safe in your house

if you were caught at a dead end

off to jail you would go and could only be rescued by being tagged.

Hours of fun...and a little raking too.

this path to the wood pile,

where two roads diverged...which one one to take...

and a few loops for extra fun

the snowy world from Libby's eyes

as she runs down a corridor of snow

that's the garden - you can just see the tops of the fence posts

and more snow next week!
