Of course our Monday Mischief post today just HAS to be on the “Blizzard of 2013.”
Saturday morning after we finally got the dogs outside to potty, Sampson, Delilah and I headed off to our park to check out the situation.
Our park sits smack dab in the middle of a cul-de-sac so naturally all the snow from the plow gets dumped in front.
The plow had already been through at least once, so there was already a good pile of snow in front of the entrance.
You can barely make out the sign for the park but the gate is to the left of the sign and behind all that snow.
I was a little surprised that the dogs just went straight for it, by the time I got my camera out and set to video I missed a good bit of it.
It made me laugh so hard, watching them. (If the video doesn’t work, you can watch it here.)
When we went back later in the day there was SO much snow, we couldn’t even SEE the park sign.
They tried anyway, but gave up pretty quickly. (If the video doesn’t work you can see it here.)
Still I’m a persistent one, so yesterday I threw my shovel in the car and drove up to the park. Using my shovel I notched out ‘steps’ so we could make a final effort.
They ran straight for the opening I’d made. The ‘steps’ worked for climbing up, but I hadn’t thought about the descent. As you’ll note from my comments, one of my legs sank up to my knee and it took a bit for me to get out. While the dogs did get to the gate, the snow inside was too deep for us to walk.
Finally accepting defeat, we walked around the block. (If the video doesn’t work you can view it here.)
I’m fairly certain it will be a while before we can walk in our park, although I may attempt it from the other entrance next week and see if someone has forged a path.
What do you do when you’ve exhausted every means to get what you want?
