    Well it rained last night and it got up to 50 today. Far too nice to be inside and all the snow when ice is gone. What’s a hoarder to do:sherlock:
    Well since we had a foot of snow the first week in November. I decided I’d go out back bring in some Drywood and split some more for next year A55BCAEA-06D7-46B3-86AE-DA91D60991B8.jpeg ACAA1BF5-5FE5-41C5-AE19-789C24C0A00A.jpeg FDE8C161-B1A4-404C-991E-D7DBDDF039A2.jpeg

    about 2 cord of birch split about cord of ash added to deck.
    Somebody’s got some stacking to do:emb:

    Most tools need to be exercised.

    Maybe not politicians.

    We’re called the green mountain state for a reason:D
    First I’ve seen the grass since November, it’s been under about a foot of snow. A little embarrassed to say probably could be mowed if it was dryer:rofl: :lol:

    Nice looking wood there. Way too warm today. Was 50° here, too. Surprised though to see you’re snowless up there.

    Make hay while the sun shines or in this case the snow is gone! Nice work! To messy around here to be out...drizzly all day. At least it got rid of our snow. What should be your typical temp and conditions for this time of year Canadian border VT ?

    I never would have guessed I would have a 6" snowpack still in December after 50* and NVT is green. What happened to the "Jay Cloud" up there? lol

    Nice work! Oddly, our ground is still snow covered this morning in SoVT. The rain certainly didn't help things.

    I need a new Weather app. I just checked it to give you a response, it says the high today is 37 and the current temperature is 38. However there’s ice in the dog outside bowl IT is not 40°! There is snow all around me in woods but house and fields are full sun when it shines as you know!! Spitting snow now.
    Ahh Mother Nature :rofl: :lol:

    I know a couple of females in that household that could do a great job of stacking! They are pretty too.
