The Snow Thrower Fairy

So, last night wasn't first snow fall we've had this year, but it's likely to the first one that lasts more than a day or two. Yesterday the ground and roads were bare (except for the leaves I never raked). After dark, the flurries started, and this morning there was 3-4 inches of the lovely white.

Given that we're into December, the snow comes at no great surprise. But when I stepped outside to commence with the shoveling, I was greeted by a pleasant surprise indeed: The Snow Thrower Fairy had visited our corner. We've never been able to ascertain if this is the work of a city employee, a kind neighbor, or magical snow elves, but last year we began noticing that on mornings when a good amount of snow had fallen, Someone would come along and snowblow our sidewalks (see evidence above).

We don't know who you are Snow Thrower Fairy, but THANK YOU!
