"Arthur! Come look out the window!"Arthur leaped onto his bed and peered out the window. Parked in front of our house was a trailer attached to a red pickup. On top of the trailer was a skid steer.
Moments later, the driver started the skid steer and directed it down the trailer's ramp. I asked Arthur if he wanted to go outside to watch the skid steer shovel snow. I told him that meant we'd have to get our jackets on.
He didn't hesitate. He flew down the steps calling, "Hurry, Mommy, hurry!"
We dressed and headed outside.
It seems that our neighbor had friends in high places because the operator started pushing snow to the side of his driveway. Then he cleared the driveway of any additional snow. Luckily the temperature was somewhat warm. We must have been out there for a good 20 minutes, just watching the skid steer's progress. I think the only think better than seeing a skid steer in our neighbor's driveway would be seeing one working in our driveway.
Blessed be.
