New Years Eve in the Mountains 2009

Harvesting some fuel from a downed oak up on top.



Happy New Year's to all.

We have been here in the mountains for 5 days now and looking forward to Celebrating tonight our accomplishments this year.

I started this blog in July this year and today is 100 days of postings.

Made a decision to hold off on wall and roof till February as the weather next week will not be productive on top .

My wife got to see and walk on her Christmas present Tuesday morning after the snow had covered the floors.

Thanks to those who have followed our journey the last 6 months.

A couple doe's stand off with each other Tuesday morning.


Deer gotta eat to.

We only got about 2 inches on our site.


Our daughter loves this kind of weather.



This photo washed out as I was standing in a cloud.



I enjoy a cup of coffee while my wife checks out the views.



I stand on the upper floor looking to the West.


What to expect next winter except I'll be standing the house by then !



I point at Barry driving around in the snow on his 4 wheeler coming up the driveway.




Always good to see your bud.



I play with my new "baby nikon" up on the pad


Was good to come back and not be bossing a crew this trip.



The lovely Mrs Denziel stands in the clouds as they role over the rockslide and up our mountain.



and that's the way it is .

cheers!


Happy New Year's
