    I sort of wanted to haul some sand into some of the trails in the woods but not too many places I want to go in this wind. It is pretty strong right now.

    Right where I want to be.
    While on one of my walks along the main trail, I found a small thumb sized piece of Maple branch sticking out of the ground.......in the path.
    I haven't pulled it out to see how far it embedded, but I thought if I leave it, it'll be a reminder to stay out of the woods on windy days. It's not the first one I've found.

    Holy smokes! That is too hot any time of the year.

    We got down to 43 degrees this morning. At present (11:00) it is 47. I have not dared look into the woods to see how much more came down.
