HOW TO MAKE A WALKING STICK

Great walking stick sample
Two trees are selected
(back up tree if needed)

First tree is dropped and caught before landing

(it prevents cosmetic damage to wood)

Second tree is "pulled out"
"Happy Dance" in celebration.

SAFETY NOTE
Do not try this at home unless your`re
a trained risk taker.

WEATHER CHANGE

With the weather so great - off with the snow tires!

Today - Oh Well!

LOTS OF WATER

Yesterday the water was rising.
Today it crested
Go slowly here

Fast water

Let's hope the worst is over.

Road is still passable.

BUSY WEEK AT THE BAY

It's been a busy few days here.More geese arrived almost daily and so did a few surprises.

Evidence shows that the River Otter has welcomed the Geese back

by "lunching" on at least one this week.

Just another day in paradise.
