Charging Admission

If we get any more snow, I am going to start charging admission to skiiers and snowboarders for use of our snowbanks.  Seriously, there is one bank that is as tall as me!  Our house is positioned in such a way that all the blowing and drifts end up at the end of the driveway.  This is also where we have a sidewalk (so less room for snow) and we have these teeny, tiny little patches of lawn to pile all of our snow on.  This doesn't help either when we are shoveling by hand instead of blowing the snow with a blower because you have to heave the snow up almost six feet in some spots. 

Tonight, I actually pushed snow UP the driveway so I could try and fling it between our house and the next one because it was less work to do that than to try and carefully pile the snow on the tippy-top of the steep mountain that is gradually forming on the corner of our sidewalk. The other VERY annoying thing, is when the snowplow comes through and pushes in several FEET worth of snow into our driveway.  Again, since we have absolutely no more space on the ends of our driveway, I have been pushing it across the street and scooping it on top of a bank over there.  I am sooooo ready for spring!
