The last couple of weeks have been fairly routine- for the summertime: “Went to the lot, cut firewood, chipped brush, etc…” Here are a few updates and photos taken along the way.<\/p>\n

Chipper:
\nI moved the chipper over to our new path through the Aspen Grove and chipped some brush. No easy task, as the chipper weighs 1700 pounds and is not very “nimble.” There is \u00a0plenty of brush to work through; the chipper will be in its current location for several weekends worth of work.<\/p>\n

Firewood:<\/p>\n

Here is a photo of a typical load of wood after it has been cut and is waiting along our driveway for our friend Kathy to pick up. This pile is about 2\/3 of a cord:<\/p>\n

The above load has since been picked up, but another load waits in my utility trailer.<\/p>\n

The load is shown here with the tie-down straps removed; for transport I use no fewer than 4 separate straps to keep everything from falling off. (Pam says the outside cats consider the cut and uncut wood”Wood Disneyland.”)<\/p>\n

The Lot:<\/p>\n

Because of the South Park view from Pavilion Point, we get a number of people trespassing on the Sanderling acreage – they usually come in from the ridge above. Pam thought these signs would help cut down the traffic over the upcoming Labor Day weekend:<\/p>\n

Pam’s custom Keep Out sign: Don’t disturb the SNAKES<\/p><\/div>\n

We’ve never actually<\/em> seen any snakes in the rock outcroppings (under this sign). \u00a0If there were any, they would be rattlers, but I don’t think they live at 9,000 feet elevation. Pam figures people who would walk on private property will not pay any attention to a “Keep Out” sign but they might pay attention if they thought they would suffer a snake bite for their trespass.<\/p>\n

Around the house:<\/p>\n

Foster cat Sollette is getting pretty comfortable in the house. She now mingles freely with our other inside animals, both feline and canine.<\/p>\n

That’s it for now. Thanks for looking in!<\/p>\n

Pam’s Two Cents Worth:<\/p>\n

We drove over Boreas Pass this weekend and I communed with Mom. It has been almost three decades since her ashes were dispersed up there, and Boreas Pass has seen some changes in the interim. \u00a0Considerable conservation activities have occurred at the boarding house and log cabin, plus railroad signage now describes the historic activities that took place at this location. Mom is always with me, but particularly on Boreas.<\/p>\n

Happy Trails.<\/p>\n
