When I got home from Japan I stoked up the fire

and fired up the chainsaws. Many Phils is what I was carving.

Then it was off to the Wizard’s workshop for Ground Hog day.

We carved a bunch of carvings there also.

Things this year where off compared to last year but a good time was had by all.

The weather even warmed up for the event.

Fire works at 6:30 am. That’s the first time I have seen that.

Spring is coming even if it is six more weeks away.

Next it will be off to the Ridgway chainsaw carvers rendezvous.

Aya and Freddy will be here for that one.

Soon we will be together as a family full time. This has been a long time

coming. I can’t wait.
