We spent Saturday night at the cabin and the temperature dropped to close to freezing. LJ fired up the wood stove and we snuggled down in the sleeping bags. It wasn't long, tho, before LJ felt the cold creeping in and was up to stoke the fire. Then he was up and down the rest of the night. Meanwhile, I had pulled my head in and was sleeping good! When I woke up about 6:00, the sun was up and the coffee made. Ah, no better way to start the day!
Because it was predicted that the wind would blow gale force later, we plunged in about 7:00 and started burning brush piles. Left by previous owners, these potential fire pyres were huge. One brush pile trespassing on my future garden spot was the size of a one-car garage. I had been working on it, with LJ's help, and this morning, we got the last of it carted off and burned. A major accomplishment!
LJ has started to plan and execute his nature trails. We envision about 5 miles of trails later on. When the grandbairns are staying with us and are getting underfoot, we'll tell them to run around the trail. Can't you picture that? I think the nature trails will be wonderful.
That's all from me. I want himself to tell the stories. I'll add the pictures.
