I think it’s fair to say that shoveling snow is the activity that I find most pleasurable and certainly the most stimulating. I look forward to snowstorms.
That’s probably because I’m so comfortable using a shovel. For the first thirteen winters we spent in New Brunswick, I mucked barn stalls almost daily. We always had at least six horses (we had as many as nine at one time). If each horse ate 25 lbs of dry hay daily, with the water they need to digest it weighing at least twice as much, it is no exaggeration to say that I moved, on average, hundreds of pounds of hay every day. With a shovel and wheelbarrow. And if I was forced to skip a day or two, on some weekends I moved a ton.
So, for me, it’s not such a big deal to clean my own driveway, sidewalks and decks after every snowstorm, and I look forward to it.
Quite honestly, I’m pretty sick of hearing the advice (if well-meaning) of those who tell me that a snow-shovel is a “widow-maker”.
If they find me dead of a massive coronary some morning, hey … I’m perfectly ok with that. There are so many ways of dying that are far worse, far more likely, and far more prolonged.
Of all the ways to die, face down in snow is certainly not the worst.
At age 67, having seen how time wilts and withers people, how cancer eats their bodies, how dementia wears down families, a sudden cardiac arrest isn’t such a bad prospect.
