The Grouse Are Drumming...

...but, thanks to the crackling cold, as yet no bugs are buzzing. Really cold this morning. Fire in the stove all day. We are burning a lot of wood, but so far it's only a small dent in the woodshed. By late afternoon the sum came out and things seemed to warm a little.

While I hate to repeat myself, I have to say, "More paint and trim; more paint and trim."

A new beach. Created in less than two days by high water and high winds. (This is at Geiser's place) The indentations are Paxmarks.

And here is the fire-pit yesterday. I'm not sure if it passes the Wett test (Wood Energy Technology Transfer), although it does seem wet.
