Lots of physical work going on here. We put the snow fence up (only covers 100ft and is an unattractive green plastic thing) Our neighbor told Mark it was a waste of time. The snow will get very high and spill over. We, of course, paid no attention what so ever. Why would he know what he was talking about - he's only lived here for 13 years.
Had a cord of wood delivered too. You may be asking why, when I had already discussed how we have enough downed aspen to keep us in firewood for years. This is a mix of wood. As it turns out, aspen is very soft and burns up really quickly. Anyway, they don't stack it, just dump it, so we spent some time making neat piles. Small world, the long-time wood guy used to work in the mines here - really! The mines were still open until 1945.
On our walk this morning we saw elk again back deep in the woods. They are very skittish with it being hunting season and difficult to see. I took a picture but you can barely make out the forms. We talked to the man who maintains the roads here, and he says that the elk start coming back in here in force as the winter comes in, since you can't hunt in our community. We'll see...
