It was a quiet and colder weekend but perfect to spend up North

The Blaser Family was thrilled to enjoy the first snows and a hike in the woods with their kids

Mack contemplating the arrival of an early winter

Even with the cold it was time to get a few things done.  Jake was up for the weekend and we put him to work making winter kindling as Troy loaded up wood

Recognize that trim he is denailing for kindling?

Steve and Chris Moran were the suppliers of the kindling trim

All of the 70’s dark paneling in Bear Den’s upstairs bedroom is gone.   Looks good guys!

A few hooks installed in the closet for all those hook people out there

More to come in the spring after Steve goes window shopping

With temps cracking 32 it was time to head for a walk in the woods with Mack

Down the Red Trail we went

Mack keeping eye out for any stray deer that might cross the path

Though the valley of darkness

To the frozen swamp

And back home to the warm wood stove and comfy new bed.  

Mack really has a rough life
