Not really cold this morning, just below freezing, and heading a few degrees above freezing later. Looks like some cooler temps rolling in 4-5 days from now. Poplar in the stove .
One last run out for a few splits before it settles in. If it was January it wouldn’t be the case as I would have plenty stored but usually we are washing cars and cutting grass by now. Sheesh. Calling for 6-8 now.
I clean wheelbarrow paths before I even do the driveway after snow falls. I'd be doing a lot of running back and forth to get the owb loaded without it. Beautiful day here today, 40 sure does melt a lot of snow when it's got a strong sun shining. Still too deep to process anything, but I did manage to get some clean-up done around the remains of this year's stacks, and succeeded at chasing the damm birds out of the roof. Had sine house sparrows nested in a valley last year.. what can it hurt, I thought.. then one got down into the wall and scared the crap out of Mrs Papi. This year the squatters will not be returning. Caught then in the act of nest construction, chard em off, and filled the hole.
Bout the same here. Not bitterly cold, but that wind seems to be cooling the house down, furnace at the upper end of the temperature range I set at. Getting ready to fill the OWB for overnight. Supposed to be in the forties tomorrow, but the pasture will be mushy so not big plans for outdoors. Tinker in the shop.
32f but still need a fire. Burning wet oak it's takes 1/2 the oak to dry out the other half.. Sent from my LG-H900 using Tapatalk
Started blowing this afternoon. 20+ gusts. Temp in the mid 20s with the sun still up@7:30 pm. Ground and vacume sealed a bunch of moose meat this afternoon. Nice and sunny.
We went out for a family reunion type thing and got home late. No fire now, but it ain't that cold. Lightly snowing, we'll deal with the fire in the AM.
Sitting at a balmy -1 C or 31 F at the moment, with a 1 degree drop slated for overnight. Limping the stove along one stick at a time, and still sitting at 77 F indoors. Weather kind of gross though, a bit of wind, was rain, then ice pellets, and supposed to get snow.
Last spring we had a late snow, grass was up pretty good. Cut the grass on my only day off...snow was green. Was funny. Had the nicest manicured green snow around.
We have arctic crocuses they will be out in 6-7 weeks. We are s ow covered still. Mum took the kids fishing, and let me go to work. Caught some rainbows
