Taking it easy

by Frank Paynter on February 22, 2009

A heavy snowfall, a snow shovel, a sunny morning—I donned my coat with the quilted down lining, covered my bean with a stocking cap, pulled on gloves, and strode forth briskly to meet the challenge. Shoveling snow is a great aerobic upper body exercise, but today I took it easy. After I had pushed most of the snow off the porch I took a break. Normally I’m a dervish when snow shoveling. I create my own blizzard around me as I cut down the drifts. Today I’ve reduced my expectations. Today I’m more into snow clearing than snow shoveling. I’m taking it easy.
