Shoveling the Neighborhood

My dad has shoveled the neighborhood for years. We tease him that he uses a can of gas for every snow storm because he just keeps going and going. Unfortunately, we have a south-facing driveway so there is always snow there. If you go out to shovel the driveway, it is hard to stop because the neighbors next door, are in their eighties and not doing well. The next house is the same. The third house is actually a friend in his 90s and the fourth is a widowed woman. That takes the whole cul-de-sac. But then skip a few houses and you can go on and on. It makes it that we need to shovel a lot. Here is Caden helping out. Luckily, it was a light snow storm and just a few spots to shovel--of course the driveway, but notice how much has already melted. It went so fast, that Caden moved snow off the grass to shovel more. This was actually a fun day to shovel.
