It's a scientific fact: The snow will remove itself, if you just give it time!

Haha! This is true and perhaps Samuel’s ultimate plan. 😆

I actually enjoy shoveling snow. Maybe because it gets me out of the house. Not that I do it much here in North Carolina. But I did plenty in Michigan.

Haha, it’s far from the worst thing in the world. I think I’d rather mow the lawn. Oh I’m sure you shoveled your fair share in Michigan! Growing up in upstate NY I did my fair share as well. Lake effect snow is no joke! ❄️ ⛄️

Merry Christmas to you and yours, Mark!

Maybe the snow will melt before he finishes the book, or it snows so much while he reads, he finds he is snowed in and begins another book. Enjoyable read as always.

Thank you for the plug, Justin. And Merry Christmas to you and your family. I'm looking forward to a crazy day with the littles whose energy can light up a major city.

BTW, where/how did you get that great horizontal section divider? I've been trying to find things like that but want to do it on the cheap.

Oh, you are most welcome, Sue. Merry Christmas to you and yours as well! I hope you have the best day with the little ones. Mine (6 and 4) have the same energy and Christmas spirit. We’re very excited over here. 😊

Meg Oolders, who writes Stock Fiction, created the divider for me. Do you know Meg? She’s the best. I’m sure she would create one or two for you for free. Send her a message, and feel free to drop my name!

Thank you for the information about the divider. I'll check it out.

Awww, let that old snow go one more day. With any luck you will get some unexpected sunshine to do the work for you. We can dream can't we? Or what is a heaven for? If it is not snow that wants shoveling, its the shower that wants scrubbing. Fiddle-dee-dee. Lovely, Justin!

Too right you are, my friend. There’s always something! (Thankfully, I haven’t needed to fire up the snowblower quite yet. I’d like to keep it that way!) Thank you for reading, Sharron!

NOt only can imagination and words in books remove snow and take you to the tropics, your excellent short short story can take us anywhere!!

Snow plows piled wet heaps over driveway. I put down the paperback, pack and call taxi. Head to Cancun for holiday.
