Here is my entry for this week’s challenge hosted by Dutch goes the Photo
The theme this week is “Slippery”
When I think slippery, I think “slip and fall” and…snowstorms.
When I was a kid, a snowstorm was exciting and often meant a day off from school. Making snow forts. Snowball fights. Snowmen.
Slipping and falling were part of the fun.
Not fun any more…
As a (former) homeowner, winter storms also meant:
First: Admiring the pretty snow.
Second: Taking photographs.
Third: Removing the snow from the front walk & driveway…with a shovel..or a snowblower…or both.
Fourth: Taking more photographs.
Below is a photo from February 2014 after a major snowfall.
I had just finished clearing the front walkway.
Still slippery though.
Yes, snow and ice were more fun as a child. Now I worry about driving and walking.

Reminds me of 9 years of my youth in Minnesota… I’m in a much milder climate now, but at 66–with 3 falls this year–I’m wary of anything slick and slippery, including the wet fallen leaves 🙂
