File under the things we do for love.\u00a0 Kate asked me, as a big favor, if I would clear the sidewalk and a path to the mailbox.\u00a0 I agreed albeit reluctantly. Never again.\u00a0 This type of snow, laden with water, dense and prone to packing tight when moved, is just too hard for me to clear.\u00a0 It clogs up the snowblower, so the snowblower’s out.\u00a0 Lifting it is beyond my frame’s capacity.\u00a0 I knew it, but I did it anyhow.\u00a0 Ouch.<\/p>\n
The snow took off the top of the cedar tree’s other trunk, too, so the whole thing will need to come down.\u00a0 That means the chain saw, sometime soon.\u00a0 That, I can do.<\/p>\n
After pushing some snow around, I harvested the last of the leeks, fine looking vegetables.\u00a0 The greens, kale and chard in particular, will continue growing until the ground freezes, so I’ll probably have one more harvest from them, too.<\/p>\n
Most of the morning I tried to pack in some material not too different from the heavy snow:\u00a0 Latin participles.\u00a0 As participles, they share in the attributes of both the adjective–meaning declensions–and verbs–meaning tense and voice.\u00a0 In addition the participles tense does not follow the verbs because the participle can cue action either concurrent, before or after the action of the verb.\u00a0 In addition, just to confuse things, the present tense and the passive future tense use the verbs present tense stem to form the participle while the future tense and the passive perfect tense use the participle stem.\u00a0 Yikes.<\/p>\n
I know, I know.\u00a0 I’m doing this on purpose.\u00a0 I’m just venting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
