Flummoxed and a bit miffed…

Remember these photos?





Someone shoveled…pushed…all that snow onto our lot while we were traveling over the winter break.

Great for playing…but what happens when it all melts?

It’s got to ebb and flow…somewhere.

So I chased down a city plow truck driver who happened to be plowing the streets in our neighborhood the other day.

Nice guy.

He said he’d come take a look.

Alas. My new friend said, “The city didn’t do it…we would never plow a huge mound like this onto someone’s property, even when we have nowhere to put the snow.”

[He was blowing the mounds from the streets onto the Jr. High field across the street.]

He also said it was a much smaller vehicle that did the deed…

He doesn’t think the city can help us…that we’ll have to hire a private company to come plow it away.

My new pal was also surprised that “no one asked” if they could plow the snow onto our lot.

Hmm

Such are the surprises that await the unwary homeowner while they’re away…

The mice come out to pl(ow)ay!
