But by tea time and then lunch it looked really nice. The fire kept us nice and warm.
One of Terry's fires does take a while to settle down though.
We both got to use my favorite tools --- the broom and rake.
The next weekend April 2 was the Friends of the Parkway Clean Up with help from the NPS Rangers and their trailer full of tools.
Guess who couldn't wait to get his hands on a leaf blower???!!!
We were both just too happy doing our familiar maintenance jobs! I picked up limbs and trash and raked around the picnic tables and up the trail. Later Terry cleared the leaves all the way up the path to the shelter. What a great day!
Such a nice dose of beauty and fun right in our own neighborhood (about 4 miles away)! In the last few years when we were traveling the local Friends group became very active and we were so pleased to get involved with their season kick-off project. I couldn't' leave the overlook without a photo of my favorite tree against the blue sky.
