Three For the Forest

On our road before sunrise
Dr. K, Willow and I got a bit of a later start this morning, and, as a result probably overdressed a little; not Willow, of course.  The temperature didn't get as low last night as it had on previous nights, and the daytime temp is projected to be higher, probably 58F--quite pleasant for December 29th.

After a fairly strenuous mountain hike Dr. K and I disposed of an old railroad tie that was junking up the front yard of the cabin, perhaps attracting termites to the remnants.  We managed to clean the area up in about twenty minutes.  Willow kept an eye on us by watching through the north window, making sure we didn't wander away.

Dr. K and I did search for the source of the rotting carcass smell emanating from somewhere on our property, and after a short exploration we found the corpse of an elk that had died, presumably, sometime during the previous month.
