Why Estonian? Well, it seems we Evertsons came from Estonia. If we didn't spring originally from Estonia, it seems we at least paused there for a good long time some 15-20 generations ago. More or less. Probably. Maybe. Who knows? I wasn't there. But the evidence I've scraped up seems to have overturned the Norway/Sweden lore I heard so often in my youth. Butt I digress.
Why happy? Well, the overnight snow was very light and fluffy and -- most importantly -- easy and even fun to scoop this morning.
Nona sure enjoyed it.
Curiously, the geese were flying east.
It was coldish -- about 19 degrees -- but there was very little wind this morning. When it's cold and still and the snow is light and fluffy the dreaded chore of scooping is transformed into a joyous, heart-lifting lark.
So yeah, happy snow. Õnnelik lumi!
If it ( the snow ) is so light and there is so little ( depth ) of it, wouldn't a leaf blower work as well as a shovel?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post.

Our dog when I was growing up, Goobs, loved deep snow. He would wade out into it, lower his nose into it, and take off, a red furry V-plow
ReplyDeleteNona sure seems to like the snow. She loses her ball in it sometimes though, then expects me to magic it back into existence. It ain't easy being a magician.
