Praise then darkness, and creation unfinished

I just shoveled the sidewalk, and a path down the driveway to the back stairs. I was shoveling a mix of ice and slush, rather than snow. We didn't get anything like the foot of snow that was in some of the forecasts--it looks as though Route 128 really was the line between heavy snow and only a few inches.

That's not walking, but it is cardio exercise, and I am noting it down as such.
