When the snow reaches my upper lip.....






You'll never guess what it did today...SNOW!! I was at ACE Hardware looking for two part epoxy for a plumbing repair and there had to be two dozen old, some might be antique snowthrowers in for repair and don't think you'll find a snow shovel. I am afraid to leave my old, twice thrown out one in the open. I think I'll go snow shoeing tomorrow. Any takers?
