Cleaning Up ...

Today we spent the afternoon ...

cleaning up the lean-to and moving things into the storage shelter ...

Mike took some time to start Ian's quad to take it for a spin ...

he had a bit of trouble with it ...

but once it fired up ... he noticed that a pile of fir cones shot out of the tailpipe ...

looks like the squirrels were storing their food in there ...

The equipment stored and protected from the elements ...

The boat was backed in under the lean-to ...

where we have always wanted it to be stored ...

There is still lots of room to park the quads and in the winter months ...

it will be my SUV ...

We continued straightening things up ...

with trimming some of the branches on the surrounding trees ...

We have lots of fire starter to have a bon fire with the kids this coming weekend ...

It's been a while since I have seen this firewood cutting roller frame ...

that dad had built many years ago ...

He would put section of wood onto it ... and then push it forward ...

or either mom was there helping ...

to cut the logs to length for the wood stove ...

There are still a few items of dads ...

that are too precious to part with ...
