Hello, it's me again Nancy today. Well, I am out here cutting the willow and as usual it's break time. I always need to take a lot of breaks. Some of my willow is in the water. Let me show you. See then I'm here, I'm rising it focusing. On the other side over there I cut some but some is in the water. Over here it's in the water and these are around the edge in the water. But this labyrinth that I built years ago, that's out. That's I've been cutting that. And now I'm tired so I'm taking a break. So here we are. It's lovely outside. I'm in my weight coat. Why is it steaming up on my glasses? Spring. My cushion is in the water over there. Why is it not focusing? Let me see, I'll just clean everything off here. Still dirty or still doesn't work. Anyway all this tall stuff here, that's all willow. And the cushion is blew off of the swing into the water, which is frozen. Maybe it's not frozen right around it, but I'm not going over there. So I have more to cut. It's very hard to see it isn't it? No, not this. You see, not this one, but all this stuff in through there is needs to be cut. And this stuff here. But it's soggy in the in the edge. I don't have my boots on, I just have on the so I can't do that today. Which is just as well. I'm going to focus. I'm on focus. So how's everybody doing? Life good? We have a bit of sunshine trying to happen. Mostly it's just cloudy and more cloudy. But I did get some of the cut. I didn't cut the tallest ones, I cut some tall ones. Yeah, I cut a bunch of stuff. I got to go around and pick it up. But that's a job for another time. I don't want to do too much at once. Cutting it is hard enough. Oh, you want to see the bridge? There it is. It's over the water. I don't know if you can see it any better. No, no better. It's a good bridge. It's a good bridge. Now we can access that part. It's over there. There's a whole stand of Alders. Well, there's also around the edge there. There's fiddleheads. And then there's not Alders. There's nettles. And there are... There's a big patch of raspberries. And there's also this beautiful tree, the Elderberry tree. So I have access to all that now. Because from the other side, when we cross that bridge, you know, you walk along the edge there, but then you come up to this hill, which has only one side. The other side comes right down to the water. And then you walk along the edge there. It's only one side. The other side comes right down to the water. So you have to go up behind that. And it's very steep and difficult to go up behind it. And then make your way along the top. And the other Elderberries are around the other side. But some of them are falling off into the water on the count of the beavers. I see the beavers are up above the culvert now. That's where they're eating anyway. This is the time when the beavers, the water is highest. And the beavers take advantage of that and build their dams. I drove by something yesterday. There was a whole line of cut trees. They were about this big around. And they all had beaver cut tops or stumps. There was a whole line of them. It must have been 20. And then there was the road. And then there was the water on the other side. And they hadn't bothered to try and get them over this road. So they were just... They eat the little tiny branches though. They eat all the branches. Sometimes they'll just sit there and eat all the branches off the tops. And then they log the rest of it and take the bark off as they feel like it. And then the big logs go on their dams. You know, if you have beavers, it will turn any water into... It'll keep the water. They really need to introduce beavers in Arizona where there's flash floods. And the water comes and then it's gone. If you put beavers in there, they will... They will back it up. But I wonder... How do they make out when there's no water? So when you've got a flash flood, it only comes and goes. Does a beaver have time? Maybe if people took some time and made dams. And then put beavers in the beavers would maintain the dams and make them bigger. It's really silly to have water come and leave and nobody catches it. I think there is a water shortage out there. I really love the Arizona. I love the Arizona flowers. Remember that magazine and Arizona highways? It's lovely. All the flowers of the desert that bloom after the rain. Well, I have more to cut. It's much nicer to sit, isn't it? And do nothing. You can barely see them. There's grass. And then this side is kind of weedy. And then the little skinny ones. How come it won't show it? I wonder if I turn it around. Is there a setting? Let's see. I'll do that. Let's just one about. At least one minute of video is needed to start a highlight. Interesting. Let's hold this down here. Well, used to be I could zoom it in and it would show me. But I must have messed up the settings. It's so easy to mess things up when you don't know what's going on. You know it would be fun. To cut one of those really tall willow. Just one. And take it over to the teepee. Maybe the one over it, iceberg pond. I'd rather do that one than the other one. The other one's in a wet base. This one's pretty nice. Take it over and just start around the top and weave it. Wouldn't that be fun? Then I would have started it. I would have made some progress on it. But I don't have a saw down here. I don't think. Maybe there's one that little shed. I try and keep saws and different tools in the places I work. So that if I just happen to be going for a walk and I decide to do something, I don't have to go home and get ready and start a project, you know. Anyway, so I think I'm going to go. See ya. Thanks for coming along. Bye.
