Pretty fat ones, too.<br />Today.. 6" of heavy wet snow. <br /> At least it covered all the dirty piles of snow, I guess.MinnesotaChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13932758634212107430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514457884876261588.post-38191920024581007122011-03-23T22:14:11.461-05:002011-03-23T22:14:11.461-05:00It suddenly hit me: the snow piles look like the o...It suddenly hit me: the snow piles look like the old coal piles at W H Pugh coal yard next to the river, where the Pugh Marina and Chartroom and that other restaurant are now. There was a large overhead crane on rails that arranged the coal into huge piles. Stuff like that was great to watch as a kid.<br /><br />Our home was heated by coal then. My dad would go downstairs and shovel it into the furnace to keep it going. Most of our neighbors were the same.OrbsCorbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08195806840368262235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514457884876261588.post-17044831433375375992011-03-23T21:03:53.554-05:002011-03-23T21:03:53.554-05:00Hmmm.... maybe.

It was so dirty and disgusting... just black mounds with trash mixed in. <br /><br />I had the opportunity to look out one of the school windows today and there were hordes of robins all over the grounds. I'm thinking they must have just flown in today, there were so many in such a concentrated space!
