Fire here the last 3 nights. BD, I have NO idea how you get anything done with the view in the background. Absolutely gorgeous!
Forecast for rain & possible to get in the 50s Sunday, may need to start a fire if that happens. In the 70s today, G-kids playing in the sprinkler. Some golf practice , garden & yard work .
Sorry to here about your trees, Dennis. Hope you have others. I started a fire today too. First in several weeks. I had thought I was through for the season...but a dull and dreary day and a cold damp evening, so a good excuse to light up, even though the house was a comfortable 70 degrees. A small fire will keep us around 72 through the night (going down to the 40's tonight again, after a gusty, humid 83 yesterday), and keep the hearth nice and warm to give my squash seeds a warm start.
Your pics are beautiful! I'm very jealous of your backdrop. How much wood do you go through in a Normal winter in Alaska?
5-1/2 to 7 cords, varies by the type of winter we get. This winter wad a semi mild one. Some real cold but, shorter & a warm January. About a 6 cord winter Will be days that we need a fire in Spring & Fall, wood is in the basement ready. Have had long Winters & lots of days below 0°f, Had one winter with no days below zero Still getting around 38° at night. Near 60° days is "the norm" this time of the year, getting real close to 18 hour days
Your pictures look as good as allways, you live in a beautiful place. And your woodshed allways looks good and full'
Nice. You are ahead of us Dave. Its hard to believe but we're only about a month away from the longest day of the year.
Been a good Spring for sure Walked 18 today. 1st of the year. Tired but can't stop, G-daughter's pre-school graduation. @ 5:30 Then home to Water garden, green house & grass seed. Dry as a bone here, 62° , sunny & windy , red flag warnings still.
Smoke haze in the air Was so bad this AM, look like thick fog, strong smoke odor. Couldn't see the Mts. wind change thinned it out We have fires North, South & West of us Need some rain !
Not soundin pretty up there Bogy. Get out around the pit and do some rain dances.....seriously though, hope things turn around.
