A Great Get Away!

Off we go to Critter Cabin, forecast is for snow. That is ok, as we have lots of burning to do and alittle snow won't hurt anybody! We arrive and it is cold in the cabin~~burr 35 degrees, hurry and build a fire in the stove! After getting a nice fire going and unload our food and things that we brought we decide to head off to the piles to burn!  We have covered all the piles alot earlier and so they are dry! Light that baby and let it burn, so we did! This is the biggest pile to burn and will take most of the day.

 Pile number two is alot of rotten logs and sticks around in the woods. Have to clean it up for the critters to get around alot easier. We did have two more piles going also. Needless to say, it was nice to get rid of all the junk wood around the area.

This is a bird house that I made awhile ago, decided to put it up and see if someone will move it!

Photo of one of the windows that we put in. Great job Pat. Check out the great looking pictures on the wall. This is some great art work by Artist " Pretty Bird" ! He does great work. We have got a new table by the window, donated by the Browns. We will use this for a puzzle. It is just right and comes with 2 stools!

Thank you! 

 The other window is in the kitchen area. Makes a great view from the table and best of all alot more light in the area.

 Critter Cabin in the snow. We got 4 inches of snow by the morning time. Not much at all. Makes for some great pictures. Oh, remember the 35 degrees in the cabin, well it is now a toasty 70 degrees.

Not many wildlife tracks around this morning, while I was out walking around the area. Must still be in bed!


 Picture of the window from the outside. This looks great.

 Other side of the cabin, and the photo of the new window!

The one and only REBA! Wonder what she thinks of the snow? 

 On the way out we find this buck laying in the oaks. He just lays there like no big deal. This is a big deer, but little horns. Must be a old buck that has went back to small horns again.

Well we got lots of things done around the cabin, piles burned and lots of wood, sticks picked up. Cut some branches off trees and burned them also. We got lots done inside, trim back up around the window area, curtains hung up and most of all stuff put away. Now it is back to a home again, instead of a shop! Most of all I got ahead of Pat in Rummy!!!!! It is a running game, started in Feb 13, 2009.

We had lots of fun and hope that we can get back soon. I just know that we will fine a excuse to go!

Rainy Day At Critter Cabin

Sounds like the snow level is coming down very low, better get over to Critter Cabin to a put things away! Decide to stop and get a trailer load of chips for the critters, as we know that the acorns are far and few this year. We arrive at the cabin, no deer or turkeys around this trip. We dump and spread out all the chips that we brought for the turkeys, deer and the crows! Guess that it has been to long since we have been here. Have lots of things to do, drain the water tanks so that they don't freeze, put away chairs, table and most of all cover the piles so that we can burn them later this winter. Fun time for me, I love to burn!

We get all our things done, decide to take a walk around, find some wood that is easy to cut and load. Guess that we will need more wood anyway. Below are some of the things that I find to take photos of. Lots of mushrooms around this time of year. I would say that these are not the kind to eat! Sure look pretty though!

What do you think this is? Well it is a outside toilet!

These are sure interesting things that grow on the oak leaves!

Well Pat gets the camera and catches me in the trees!

Now this mushroom looks good, but BEWARE it carries a deadly punch!

Now this one could be just as BAD! Lets just look but not touch!

Well kind of a sad day, as we both love to come to Critter Cabin, but knowing that the snow level is going to drop low for several days, and that the elevation is 2500 feet here, it doesn't look good. We will have to hope that we have a mild weather so that we can make it back real soon!

Oh, Did I forget to tell you that we go the window trim up and it looks great! Rats, I should have taken a picture of it!

Till we get back to Critter Cabin, good bye for now!
