The Furnace had Limped Along

I hadn't noticed that it is the clump birch that hides
the east side of this cabin in the summer time.
In my mind' eye, I walk the path along the lakeside
of this cabin and over to Moiya's house, hoping
I am only seen as a friendly walk-through and not a trespasser.

My furnace has been limping along for a couple of years now. David Wood and Glen Pilling investigated its loss of power a few years ago.

Yes, the furnace still warmed the house, but the fans kept blowing incessantly, whether the heat was being generated or not.

That was good enough for me. But last week, the bitter (to me) end of the furnace came.

"The view I am never tired of photographing."

Bonnie and I planned how to make our exit from the house in Annis Bay where the temperature kept dipping down, a leave we had to make until the furnace was 

replaced.

She returned to her home in Salmon Arm. I moved in with David and Moiya, on the best of days: American Thanksgiving. Well, if not the best, one of the best days.Moiya had gone to a lot of work for breakfast, making morning glory muffins.

While she was working in the kitchen I had a chance to go out to here deck and look back at to the west at Dan and Marina Wood’s cabin.

Moiya serves her muffins on a restaurant
style triple high rack.
"Marina has one just like it," Moiya said.

I hadn’t seen that side of the cabin when the foliage was all off of the trees.

I was really curious as to what it looked like, spotting for the first time a nectarine tree on Lot 5, a twin to Moiya’s nectarine tree, one lot over.

I am wondering if my camera keeps snapping the same scene over and over, but to my eye, it is the microcosmic changes that lead me to take out my phone and do just one more snapshot.
