Monday 4/16. The snow flakes dwindled and finally disappeared by noon, but the icy wind blew all day long. In spite of that, after lunch we walked down to the hair-pin turn to switch cards in the game cam. The snow on our driveway has all melted and been replaced by mud. It wasn't real sloppy today, but it is steep and there are some slick spots.
Two weeks of photos and we were the only wild life on the card! That is really odd, because there were deer tracks going up the drive. . .
Our high for the day was just 37, which is only one degree warmer than it was at 7:00 am! The wind was gusting to 18 mph Up Here, but down in the canyon at Larry and Elsie's, they were getting gusts up to 30 mph.
Still watching the first season of Fringe. John Noble, who portrays Walter Bishop, really makes the series. I know he earned at least one Emmy, but as far as I am concerned, he should have received one for each year.
Tuesday 4/17. It was 36 and partly cloudy this morning, with the icy wind still blowing, as it did all night.
After lunch we moved two large piles of branches to the wood cradle. I loaded the tractor bucket and JB drove them up. Feels so good to get outside and work. We are going to have a lot of branch wood for next winter. We spend the five months of winter resting and planning for the next three seasons, then spend those three seasons getting ready for the next winter.
The wind finally died down a bit by 4:00 pm, and our high for the day was 43.
Wednesday 4/18. It is 32 with a light overcast this morning. Supposed to be cold for a day or two.
Thought for the day: I run entirely on caffeine, sarcasm and innapropriate thoughts.
