Fall 2018

Seems like 2018 was just booming in. We live in the fireworks area so on NY's and July 4th we hear a lot of fireworks. It's not too bad as long as it does not go on for days and days. I suppose if I was Gorilla Fireworks I would say differently!

We did a lot of work on the property this summer and I love it. Cleared a lot of trees down with the help of a good friend! The trees had grown so much that we could not see the lake. Now, it is there again and I love it. I also have been doing a lot of burning of fallen trees. Every summer we have an ongoing war with carpenter ants, a bad thing if you live in a log home! So pulling fallen trees out and burning them makes me feel like we have made their lives a bit more challenged! Yay!

The swans are passing through here in the Valley so I thought I would post a few swan pictures. I was not a threat to them as I pulled trees out of the woods and burned them because they soon were standing lakeside preening themselves. Now if he could Mo would have been a threat for he wanted all the treats I was tossing out to the swans for himself!
