It was a little chilly by the river.

Very cold outside (below freezing). The wind was a little irritating because of the errant ways it would send the smoke. But the fire felt very comfortable.

Reflection time on 2020…

Some more log splitting…

… tried my hand at splitting logs. Getting ready for some more winter evenings with fire outside…

… the second morning was distinctly foggy.

Looks beautiful. Everybody is asleep. The roads are empty. Great opportunity to be by oneself contemplating the year ahead…

The same frame as before. This is after the flame had died out. Used 3 seconds of shutter opening on the iPhone.
