    Cloudy again this morning. Rain forecast next few days but supposed to be nice and in the 60's for the GTG this weekend.

    It's not too late if anyone else cares to join the fun this weekend. Just give me a shout and I'll guide you right in to Mid-Michigan for fun and games. We have a good one getting started!

    Yesterday's rain was not too bad and did not last as long as predicted. Good.

    Sun just cracked the clouds and chased the rain.. For now. think we topped out in the 40s today. Took advantage of the brief window to stack a truckload. White pine keeping indoors toasty for the girls.

    A raw 40° here, should stay dry during the day, but rain overnight. I'm going to have to move some wood in, I'm down to a little pile of oak in the basement. The forecast for May has us cooler than normal, sounds like I won't be opening the pool until June. Well, it's better than being too hot.

    I agree. I prefer this to the hot and humid stuff. Nice weather to get some work done outside even if it’s a month later than it should be. Kinda crazy to be burning on May Day but here we are.
    39 and 71. Just lit a small fire with a few bricks, some pine and some punky birch. With a few exceptions we’re still building a small fire every morning and every evening before bedtime. Forecast is calling for similar for the next two weeks. It’s the longest heating season I can remember.

    We have had a lot of extremes, but I don’t remember it being quite this consistent. Remember the year it was 80 in March? :loco: :crazy:
