Today was a beautiful day, sunny and warm. The snow has melted off the roads and is quickly diminishing in the fields. We took a scenic drive to the historic War Eagle Mill nearby.

A view of War Eagle Creek flowing past the Mill and under the bridge leading to the homestead.

One of the many grain products produced and sold by the Mill.

The Jeep was safe under the canopy at the back house, but Robert couldn’t resist testing it out in the snow. It did a great job pushing through the snow.

Don plowed the path with his skid steer. There actually is no road here.

Meanwhile at ‘the big house’ the snow melting off the roof created beautiful icicles hanging in front of the windows.

The Yellow Submarine today, Feb. 10, 2011, almost completely submerged in the snow!

The big storm hit overnight and throughout the day. 24 inches in less than 24 hours! It is considered the 100 year storm for northwest Arkansas. Mavrik went out in the morning and got lost in the snow. He had to ‘porpoise’ over the surface, jumping like a deer! The falling snowflakes were so thick and the sky so gray that pictures just didn’t do justice to the scene.

Don had a lot of equipment he wanted to get rid of so I helped him put several things on Craigslist. This Exercycle is quite an interesting and photogenic piece of work.

And it has an ample seat!!
