Buckles by David Gilbert for December 09, 2022

Yo ho, blow the man down…..

He could be a good neighbor and clear off his neighbors driveways and sidewalks. With Buckles help, of course.

But, don’t those things just throw the snow on the side? Good to clear the alley, but if you take your whole garden what will the neighbor’s look like?

And then a plough comes past and puts it all back again.

It did start, usually, now would been the time they don’t.

“I think Paul’s finally lost it, mom.”

“Nope! I’ve totally found it!! HAH-hahahhahhaaaaa!!!”

I figured Buckles would be inside with Jill, away from the noise in a warm house.

Nothing better than seeing the snow fly through the air while standing behind a snow blower.

Wait until the novelty wears off….

Yeah, Paul is the opposite of Calvin’s dad, being that Calvin’s dad would not want to touch with a snow blower with a 50-foot pole.

My late loving wife and I had 2 Chihuahua’s and a Catahoula Leopard dog. I always had to clear an area for the Chihuahua’s because they were too small for anything over a dusting. There were more than a few times I had put down an old sheet before a predicted snowfall and then removed it so they had a safe area. But I also used the snowblower to create paths for the Catahoula also. I have some pictures of snow that was so deep that you couldn’t even see the dogs in the paths, almost like tunnels. Don’t have the dogs anymore so don’t have to do that any longer.

If he is clearing off the whole yard where is he putting the snow?

Don’t worry Paul, the newness will wear off after the second or third COLD & BLOWING snow storm …… :)

Someone looks a little too manic.
