| Maybe it's time for a plumber? |
We had a smaller crew this week for River Day: Tim, Jay, Ted, and I (Mark). The weather was a bit cooler also (low 40's), but there wasn't a cloud in the sky. While there wasn't any evidence of it at the river, there was a dusting of snow on the ground early Monday morning. Winter will be on us before you know it.
With the colder air, most of the evening was spent pretty close to the fire, or fires. The shin buster stump near the fire pit has finally had a blow out, so we spent a good bit of time getting what was left, down. Well, mostly anyway. We threw some coals into the center and let the fire take care of what hadn't rotted away. We helped it along...just a little. In another week or so, there shouldn't be anything left to trip over. Can't remember having choices before when it came to which fire you wanted to stand by, so this week was a first.

Freddy came down to chat with us for a while, and even brought a little gift to share. After the way we harassed him with this week's story, I'm surprised he didn't want it back. Jesse even dropped by for a few minutes; he was just surprised to see Freddy out of the house.
We did gather up a little firewood to add to the pile. The river had been up through the week, so there were a few extra pieces laying around. We probably burned about half of what we collected, so we'll have to work a little harder at it next time.

| Best fire on the river! |
Once again, a great way to start the week!
Happy Thanksgiving to fellow Rivertarians everywhere, and anyone else that follows National River Day!
