The snow and ice that had completely blanketed my neighborhood is thawing fast. I like snow but it has interrupted my daily walks. The roads and sidewalks have been very slippery and as the tall person lacks sufficient padding on his bottom to cushion a fall we have stayed at home for the last few days.
Anyway, the sun was shining this morning and by midday had transformed the ice and snow into countless glittering drips and rivulets.
The tall person confirmed that his minimalist bottom would be safe so we set off into our melting neighborhood.
We saw a lady who sells brushes. She was standing very still. In fact, so still that I feared that she had been out in the snow for several days and had frozen to the spot. Tall person was as intrigued as I was but assured me that the warm sunshine will revive her and she would soon be able to re-open her mobile brush shop.
I hope so. People will need new brushes to clear away the slushy snow.

Bassa, I’m glad you mentioned to the Tall Man that you were worried about the lady who sells brushes. She does look like she’s frozen! Happy that the two of you were able to take a walk! x Berner Girls
I’m relieved that at least someone like you and your tall person have noticed the lady standing there very still. or she might really get frozen(!!!) BOL!
she’s covered up yet she looks stiff, poor lady
Do people brush the snow, not shovel? Maybe tall person can tie a brush to his bottom in case he falls it would cushion him. – LOL – Lulu
I don’t think I’ve ever seen brushes quite like that. I wonder how many she sells in a day?
I’m glad you are able to take your walks again and the tall person will not fall. I hope the sun warms up the poor lady so she will be able to sell her brushes.
Oh Dog! I heard there was a bombing of an Israeli diplomat in your city. I sure hope your family is OK!!!
We are okay Rumpy. The bomb was discovered and disarmed before it went off. Thank you for thinking of us 🙂
Hi Bassa!
Wow, it sure melted quickly! Its great you can take your walks again and that the Tall Person does not have to worry about his minimalist bottom. Did that lady ever thaw out? 🙂
Your friends,
The Collies and Chuck 🙂
Those look like nice brushes!
They are the traditional brush here. Everyone uses them. They are handmade and very durable.
I wonder if that lady could cover herself with her brushes to keep warmer. Glad you’re able to get out again Bassa.
