Today was another of those “glamorous” Realtor® days we get to experience. I needed to check my listings after the big weekend snow storm.
Put on my trusty duck boots and dachshund socks. I think I may have a problem with these boots in 14″ of snow. Normally they work very well because they’re easy to slip out of when going into homes, but they’re not great for trudging through deep snow. I suppose it would be futile to try to QUICKLY find taller boots in a nearby store after the weekend snow.
Drove to a listing to shovel the sidewalk so agents with buyers can get to the front door. Don’t want to miss a showing, you know.
Drove to another listing to make sure my yard sign wasn’t snowed in. I shoveled out the snow at the base and tried to straighten the sign in the frozen ground. Then I put a new “SALE PENDING” sign strip in the top. YEAH!
The neighbor was just finishing clearing the driveway with a Bobcat. That’s a real handy gadget for long drives. But getting through the deep piles of snow that he moved, meant I was up to my knees in snow. The duck boots are failing me big time at this point.
I took some extra photos while I was there simply because it was pretty. Not much fun to sit on this deck now, but it will be pretty the other three seasons. I would expect that the Kokopelli artwork (behind the chairs) wishes it was back home in Arizona.

Came home to my snow filled neighborhood. I think our area had more snow than the other areas I drove through. Supposedly we got 14″. I judge the depth by the bird bath to the right of the big tree. I’m glad to see the ornamental tree by my front window survived. Saturday morning I feared it would split as all the limbs were bent down touching the ground.
Don’t you wish you could have had an exciting day Like I did?











The things we do for our clients! These are the sort of questions that sellers should be asking when they interview us: Are you willing to shovel snow for me? By the way-you rock.
I have the same boots by the way, but the taller version, still think they wouldn;t have been ideal in that much snow though
Well, since I only list homes for nice people, I’m glad to take good care of them.
“you rock” … what a great compliment! Thanks.
Last night I saw a gal with rubber boots up to her knees. I thought, “I need a pair of those!”.
