dismantling snow piles

My mom's boyfriend was sweet enough to plow my driveway a few weeks before my return. My threat of not coming home 'till I could get into my driveway taken seriously. I only wished he knew how..

My driveway is a muddy rutted mess with all the gravel tucked neatly away in three piles around my driveway. Today it was warm enough to sink a shovel into the snow and I tried to skim the gravel off the top to fill in the mud puddles and obvious dips torn into the driveway. I finally gave up and started dismantling the snow piles. It's going to melt anyway, right? The gravel has to be in my driveway again anyway, right?

Several times I had to laugh at myself as I climbed on top of the hardened snow piles remembering the days in my youth feeling like you were on top of the world once you reached the top, so proud of yourself for getting there and being so tall.
