BYC Café

Unlike elm which is all kinds of twisted fibers under the bark. NASTY to split.

Walnut is the same way. Very stringy wood. Burns well, though.

Our black walnut trees grow to about 10-14" in diameter, then die. Very few get any real size to them, so it's not like we have a fortune in timber out there.

I just looked up what size they need to be to sell, and 22-26" diameter, minimum, and 28" would be even better, at 4.5 feet above ground.

Gonna go out with a tape measure sometime and see if we have ANY that big.

That is a big and old tree!

Good morning, Cafe'. Coffee is ready. Still raining here - heavily during the night but only drizzling now.

Good morning Cafe and thanks for the coffee. We've got another cool, crisp sunny gorgeous autumn day here.
Bella and Skittles had fun yesterday walking in and out of all sorts of stores along the main drag in Littleton NH, we enjoyed a farmers market, a hike along Moore reservoir and a visit to Dog Mountain where Bella meet another Dobie and my heart ached over a little spitfire black min pin named Piper that reminded me so much of my little Fuji.

Did you check out the Pollyanna Gateway? I didn't even notice it the two times I've eaten at Gold House Pizza which is RIGHT next to the gateway! I found out about it from Ken's Scenic Journeys. He is a builder from the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. You might want to check out some of his other videos since you are right in his area

Covered bridge tour day. Photobomb. Sorry...

These ladies were calling Skittles down to the other end of the bridge and he was more than happy to go!

This was the only railroad bridge on our list and it was being renovated and we couldn't go in it.

This one was my personal favorite.

My personal favorite picture of the day.

I love covered bridges!

Sorry...

Sorry for what? I could go see all those bridges given where I live but most here can not.

This was the only railroad bridge on our list and it was being renovated and we couldn't go in it.

Probably best not to be on a railroad bridge anyway. Can be somewhat dangerous.

Good morning Cafe. Coffee is ready.

We've got another heavy frost here but it will warm up nicely and it's going to be sunny again. The whole week looks good except for a little rain Friday.
Bella did not limp at all yesterday but she was on leash the entire time out of the car. She did a lot of whining when in the car.
