Do Not Try This At Home.

In my younger days, my father would look at me after I did something he would consider dangerous, or something he thought lacked any reasonable amount of common sense, and he would say, "if you only had half a brain".

This morning I walked out onto the frozen river, and as I crossed over to get to the other side, I thought about the frigid water still flowing below the ice and I heard my fathers voice speak to me from the grave,"IF YOU ONLY HAD HALF A BRAIN".
I think this time I truly understood what he was trying to say, and I agreed with him.

It is not only the inconvenience of the extreme amounts of snow, but the sub zero temperatures are taking a toll. The river is frozen solid with only a few tiny pockets of open water. I have never seen this river freeze so solid during the winter.

Walking out on a frozen river would not be considered a smart move, but I did get this shot of the house from the middle of the river.

Looking up river.

Looking down river.

Venture wonders if it is to late to fly south.

A little color in a white landscape.


If I ever find the other half of my brain, I think life would become boring.
