Snow, Lots of Snow…

There was about 10″ this morning at 8 and another 2 fell before it tapered off…

We had fun clearing this as it is almost to the top of the snow thrower. Had to go really slow through it and it really didn’t want to go up the driveway.

Interesting concept – chords, not something I’ve  ever had to deal being a flute player.
Played with the photo in Lightroom to make the new guitar look old and liked the effect of this… Below is the original.
