Cabins, boats, campers, and all-terrain vehicles all have one thing in common: regular maintenance of one form or another is required. You have to “pay to play,” as the adage goes.
One
of the maintenance issues at our cabin is keeping the primitive road clear for
travel. This entails mowing the grass (and, sadly, wildflowers) that readily
grow in the narrow mountain valley. On a less regular basis, the trees that have
volunteered alongside the road must be trimmed to allow the free passage of
vehicles. At this point, some of the trees are holding hands above the roadway.
Yesterday,
Desiree took to the trees with a pair of nippers and a bow saw. This is hard
work, but Desiree loves anything to do with plants or trees. By the time she
was finished, I had a truck filled high with branches from the pine, fir, and
willows attending the cabin road.
I am
sharing three photographs from the day.
