Hard At Work

There's lots of shoveling to do around my house these days and my son is gallantly taking care of it.  Thank goodness for what once was a small miracle.  He's a big miracle now and a huge help.

lol, he looks like he wants to murder the snow, Mary! How long had he been shoveling?
Mary MacADNski: Probably a half hour or so. He was hung over so this is not what he wanted to do.

Looks to be a lot of white stuff laying about for your son to play with, Mary. I suppose he uses a bigger shovel these days for this game.
Mary MacADNski: He used that small shovel just for a moment to get inside a culvert. Most was done with a big shovel.

Nice meeting your son Mary, he in deed looks if he can murder the snow, but I love the thought he is taking good care of you!! Cherish these moments Mary and I know you do wink
Mary MacADNski: I do and am lucky he chose to stay on the Island. The other two live far away.
I like the family spirit in your words Mary! Nice shot showing what a hard work your son is doing for you!
Mary MacADNski: He's been a savior. We had four snowstorms in the first week of January. This week we had a thaw so he didn't have to shovel. He does the dishes too.

Could you please send him to Atlanta to teach my son a thing or two, Mary!!! smile

So glad to meet him...and to know you've got someone to help you when you need it. When I first opened this, I thought he was a monk! I guess he IS your saint!
Mary MacADNski: Your son would help if you needed it, I'm sure.

He doesn't appear to be enjoying that very much but then again it looks like he has already shifted tons of the stuff. Hope your keeping him well topped up refreshments smile

The untouched area of snow in the top half has created a realfeeling of height but I would be tempted to take out the tree stump
Mary MacADNski: He is a good cook and is helping out there too.
Funny you and Jose-Angel both have sones in the display today. Incredible if you realize that once it was just a small miracle smile, my son had his 8th birthday yesterday, and he is growing up so fast smile
Mary MacADNski: Yes, I visited Jose-Angel. They grow up very fast. This is my youngest.

Always maintain the support circle smile They come in handy at times. Nice to meet him.
Mary MacADNski: Absolutely. You never know when you're going to need the support.

Am i glad that it's not snowing in surinam..cause my son is only 7 weeks old so i would heve done all the shoveling just by myself..
greetings
Mary MacADNski: A new baby - Congratulations. Start them working young LOL
There's a lot of white stuff Mary!
Mary MacADNski: Since this we've had the January thaw and it's been lovely and warm all week.
so nice of him to help out!
Mary MacADNski: Yes, I definitely need the help.
What a handsome young man, Mary. Thank you for introducing him to us. (:o)
Mary MacADNski: You are welcome. He's better looking when not shoveling or hung over.

Wow all that snow, but he doesn't look like he would share my enthusiasm.
Mary MacADNski: No, nor would I. I had done this particular shoveling chore a couple of weeks previously and it's no fun. Playing in it is; shoveling, not so much.

Hello son!! Nice shot Mary

I don't envy him his job, and I bet you were glad of an excuse not to be involved in the snow shovelling wink
Mary MacADNski: No, I hated not being able to do it. I have a ton and a half of energy and am very independent.
It's hard to accept that sometimes we need help...and wonderful to know it's there when we do.
Mary MacADNski: I have no problem asking for or accepting help when I need it but Ginnie was thinking I was glad of an excuse not to shovel. No, no, no! That's not me.

Mary MacADNski: Absolutely. He didn't want to do it the day before but it had to be done....

He almost looks like a Franciscan brother, with the brown hoodie smile Good to have help given your current predicament. Friends and family are SOOOO important when we're poorly, bless them.
Mary MacADNski: He was feeling like sh**, hungover. He's been wonderful though and only complains about washing the pots and pans. My ex sis in law has been wonderful too. I don't know how to repay her so keep buying her wine.
Wow ! So much work ! I think your son is very kind to help you !
Mary MacADNski: I took care of him when he was sick.
