Yesterday it started snowing, lightly most of the day, and then it got serious about the project.
Five inches of snow changes the world.
Pine trees catch and hold millions of snowflakes.
Even thin branches of a Service Berry can hold a surprising amount of snow. This bush is right next to our living-room windows, and it looks like heavy white lace from the warmth of our room.
So, shoveling sidewalks in my immediate future and we need to put the blade on our Ranger to be able to plow the driveway. The weather forecast is for partly sunny skies today, but the skies look pretty gray and could be planning otherwise.
We bought ourselves a present, a surround-sound system – it took five hours to re-arrange things and figure out all the wires (we didn’t have a 10-year old handy), but it does make a tremendous difference in how a DVD sounds – we tested it out on “Fellowship of The Ring” – wow how much of a difference it makes.
What got us started on this was Dan wanted a Roku but none of our equipment was compatible, and I wanted to be able to hook up a turntable to our sound system to listen to some of the 500+ record albums we have, and none of our equipment could handle that either. So Dan and his brother Kerry started researching and figured out what we needed to change to accomplish both tasks.
Fun stuff. Just in time for Winter.
