Toasty Warm

 

I found a home for a couple of the coats I pulled out of dumpsters in the spring when the scholars left town with overstuffed cars to warmer climates.  Nelar got a sweet winter coat, no boots, and Yardana got her dream of having a leather coat fulfilled.  You can look up the value of a Paul Smith Bomber leather jacket.



 I got back to Irenaeus to help with more tree work.  They have an arrangement with a logger who is harvesting the largest ash trees from the forest before the EAB kills them all in exchange for cutting the diseased trees that threaten their buildings.  He was supposed to cut down some the day before we went that we would then deal with, but he spent the day in the woods "getting the money logs".  It was a rainy day, so Joe directed the burning of quite a bit of brush that has accumulated this summer.  That was one hot fire, and when you feed it extra O2 with a leaf blower, it's extra-intense.
