Sumac, Sorry. I was in a Carolina once. But I can't remember which one! Very rude and northeastern of me.
So, Joan, when the snow piles up at the back door, how do you let the dog out?
Hmm, probably constant attention to the height of the pile. Yikes.
When I was three or four in Dayton, Ohio, I remember my parents letting me use the fireplace shovel to shovel some snow. Well, ok, not very much, I tired of it rather quickly...but getting to do that is a strong memory..
