Is it important to keep traditions alive? ~ [Details]?
First light snow of the year.
Before going out to scrape, I put on entirely too many clothes including my recent Goodwill purchases of Spiderman head sock and gauntlet gloves (just in case I needed the build in plastic goggle scraper or nose wipe).
I searched the garage for a snow shovel. Finally found an old, beat up and dented aluminum shovel behind a host of handled tools and a slab of marble.
Located a broom.
No ice melt to be had.
I go out, and there is a light coating of ice under the snow, so removing it just makes things slicker.
An hour and a half from start, I’m back in the house, and unsuited, having accomplished NOTHING.
It’s a tradition I feel is important to keep alive! Hardly a winter has gone by without it.
If you have a tradition you seem to cherish despite its unproductivity, please share.
