I went to town yesterday and did my grocery shopping and errands and all that stuff, so since I am not going out today. I’m going to touch up little nail holes that I ut some spackling on, on my in living room walls. That won’t take long. Maybe I might even get into doing my bedroom today. I am also trying to figure out where to put up the two shelves that I had made from that log slab I have. Either in my bedroom or in the living room. I think I posted a post about that log slab a while ago. But for those who did not see the pictures, here is the
finished product. This slab is over a century old so it is a piece of history as well. This area goes back to the old logging days of the White Pine. I believe that it was cut at one of the mills that used to be along the Shoreline of Otsego Lake. The village of Otsego Lake was established in 1872 and was about a mile to my north. It is heyday it was a pretty thriving community and had a mill along the Lake. As the railroad progressed north another small community went up on the north east side of Otsego Lake and that to had lumber mills. So it is from one of these mil that I suspect this log came from. In floated out and eventually got so waterlogged that it sank to the bottom of the lake and eventually got covered with sediment. About 10 years ago, we had some low water levels, and the boat traffic stirred up the bottom and logs popped up. There is a lot of logging history in this area and the lakes around here have logs and stumps and stuff in them from that era. You can see in the second picture, the rounded edge, indicating this was a first cut from the log.
Rita, nice to see that you were finally on your way south for a while. Sounds like you guys had really been having a winter up there. You’ve probably got all the snow that we were normally have or used to. Beth, your new volunteer position sounds interesting.
No other news here so I guess I will get busy. Just wanna wish you all a nice day.
