Mark the spot
You need to mark the spot from picture # 3 and retake it around late Feb early March.
IIRC you darn near had a ski jump off the house last year.

Hopefully things will be a little different this year. I just had 15 very large ( between 30 to 38 inch diameter and 70 feet tall) white pines harvested from around the house by a local logger that should provide a little better melt on the roof. He took out 4 large truck loads of logs for his sawmill.

Col M,
Reminds me of Plattsburgh, NY.
No more beautiful place in the world for the fall, than our North East.
Call me crazy, many do, but I even miss the snow falls in winter!
Thanks for the pics!!!

Those photos make me miss home. I love the jungle but I do miss the fall and hunting season.

Jack,
Great colors!
Good job getting the logging done before you had to wait for the freeze to use the horse drawn logging sleds on your iced skid roads. It's tough to find a farrier who knows how to forge caulked shoes for a horse today.

We only have two here, also. Day and night.
Love the pix Colonel! It does get boring out here.

Beautiful pictures sir. Reminds me of home. I guess you can't beat Georgia for humidity and red ants but my heart will always be in the north.
