Sa it ain't so

In honor of the last day of summer...and also so I could cross something else off the checklist...we dug out the slumbering snow blower, gave it a good once over and fired the dormant little puppy up.  We even spun the blade and kick up some grass clippings just for grins.  It's not often you get to catch a glimpse of a real snow blower with flowers in the background.  Nope, these infernal machines are equipped to stand by for only one task--ripping into newly fallen snow while flinging it far and wide and usually in your face, too.  This machine could be a primary icon of why we look forward to heading to Arizona before the snow flies.
