Snowed under

Ninja Warrior
The winter storm that swept past most of the Midwestern states this week dumped several inches of snow in our neck of the woods last night.  Luckily, a Ninja Warrior alighted on our driveway this morning to come to the rescue.  Attired with a sky mask and a pair of prescriptive goggles, though designed to be used under water, worthy of the niftiest ninja warriors, she set to work ploughing the snow off our driveway.  Even with her relentless weight training and running in bitter cold, it still took her close to three hours to get the job done, well, maybe, just tolerably.  Like Moses parting the Red Sea, she carved out our driveway from under the heavily packed snow with superhuman powers.  Before I could properly thank her for rescuing us from being trapped inside our house, she vanished in the thin air without a trace!  You are not to confuse those footprints on the roof in the other picture as hers; they belonged to the phantom squirrels who never stop hopping from roof edges to tree branches and vice versa as the quickest and safest mode of travel.

If there are ninjas on the roof, especially squirrely ninjas, I ain't coming home!
