Chip Mate -- formerly the dinghy --
has become more of an igloo lost on the tundra. (Jan. 29, 2011) |
Yes, it's sitting well off the ground
on plastic saw-horses. (See it
here in
early December before any snow.) |

Barbara's porch roof.. |

Time to bring in more firewood -- but the
new cart, hanging
on the tree beyond the emptied racks where it used to be "out of the way," is buried in the
growing mountain of snow. |
So first I had to shovel out another path, to the tree
to liberate the wood
cart. Look at that poor C22, Chip Ahoy, parked behind the mountain and
tree, alongside the house. Will it get out by spring?
|
Okay, back to hauling in another day's supply of
firewood. |

Barbara's side yard "beach" garden and birdbath, buried
beneath a couple feet of snow. |
The beach garden in high times, late last June.
By comparison, today it's desolate. |
It sure looks lonely out there in the
middle of the tundra. |
Not much bird bathing going on these days . . . or for many to come. |
