Even though winter is about half way over, we enjoyed the first River Day snowfall of the 2014/2015 winter season this week. We didn't get much in the way of accumulation (I think the official term would be a "dusting"), but it was pretty much constant the whole time we were there. Needless to say the fire was the center piece of the evening, and we had a doozy.
We had a full compliment of Rivertarians again: Ted, Jay, Pat, Tim and I (Mark). And let's not forget about Freddy.
There was a large dead tree at the lower end of the property that we had been looking at over the last year. It was a matter of time before it was going to fall (somewhere), so we decided that now was the time to bring it down. Having no leaves on the surrounding trees made it a bit easier to pick where to drop it. Pat brought his chainsaw down and did an excellent job of putting it where we had all decided it needed to go. We should have plenty of wood to last out the coldest of days ahead.
I'd say that I made up for the lack of photos over the last couple of months. Yes I brought a camera this week, and yes I took several pictures. I'm posting several that I thought were pretty good, including a short video of the tree coming down. Hope everyone enjoys.
Happy River Day!
Nice!
