Shovelin'

The past weeks, as I've said before, there was a constant in snow falling, blizzard orange code, ice, wind and overall freezing cold. This week the snow begun to melt due to (happily to announce that) finally positive temperatures (up to 5 degrees today). What else changed? Let's say that those who were having nothing but stay in home days became thoughtful and started shoveling. There was a nightmare not having where to walk on the sidewalk due to the snow gathering after every fall, and it was pretty much tiring to crisscross  the streets from one sidewalk to another or just walking on the main road along with cars and trying to avoid them or wait for them to pass by me... In other words it was a nightmare to be a pedestrian in this city I actually love so much. That should also be translated in a ruined pair of leather boots. :( Now, armed with a a pair of "calamity boots", as I love to call them, and a rather expensive shoe treatment that prevents water infiltration (I've also prepared my rubber boots for the warmer days) I walk faster on the almost "clean shaved" streets. I'm telling you, if you walk down those streets and listen carefully, you'll hear the sound of shoveling everywhere. In a frenzy, everyone wants to call, in a sort of a ritual, the spring, the sun, the warmer days. I sincerely await for the spring and, with it, my inspiration. Winter does not inspire me to write.

A lovely weekend to you all!
