I am really beat. I got up before 7am, had some coffee and took Danny out for his walk. I carried him through the field again so he wouldn't get the snow all stuck in his fur.
When we returned from our walk, I dug out a path to my trashcan so I could put it out for collection. Sue, one of the neighbor ladies can walking up the street with a broom and shovel. She said she was going to dig Ida out. Ida is an elderly lady who lives across from me. I picked up my snow shovel and helped her. Someone had shoveled Ida's walk but her car was buried with snow. Sue also brushed off my back steps and put down some salt. The snow was over my boots so I didn't get to it.
When we finished, I ran the dishwasher, took a shower, and packed up the car. Danny and I headed for Vineland about 11:00. Bethel Road in Maryland was clear but when we cross into Delaware, it was snowcovered. At the traffic circle they just put in the middle of nowhere, a car had gotten stuck in the snow and everyone got out and gave the guy a push. I decided to go home via expressway rather than the back roads. It was dry the rest of the way until I got to Vineland. The roads here are terrible. I pulled into my back neighbor's driveway and asked if I could park there until I dug out my driveway. Doris said "Of course." I took Danny and headed to my house. When I got to the driveway next to my house, I saw that someone had shoveled a space large enough for me to pull my car into and be off the street. My sidewalks were also shoveled. I figured Alex must have done it. I was extremely grateful. How thoughtful of him to do that for me. I pulled my car up and unloaded. I got the snow shovel and started shoveling out my driveway to the garage and a path to the back door. I didn't get the garage driveway finished; I need a break. I went in the house and had a cup of tea. At 4:00, I took Danny out for his walk and saw Alex and thanked him for shoveling me out. We noticed the guy across the street was stuck so we went over to help him out. I did some shoveling and Alex and another neighbor push him out.
I almost finished shoveling the driveway but it got dark and I was cold and tired. I just need to clear out the part that adjoins the road. I was going to dash through it but was afraid I'd get stuck. I also figured the snow plow may be around and push all the snow back in again so I'll wait until morning to finish up.
