24 degrees F April 3, 2021, Holly tree cleanup

 I saw 23.8 degrees F here on the farm this morning.

Took another hike with the chain saw, accompanied by pups, doing some timber stand improvement (TSI), cleanup on aisles 22 - 27 :)  

There is a lot of holly growing in some places on the farm, it's kind of invasive, it can grow just about anywhere, it seems to out compete some other more desirable species.  I have been cutting and cleaning up a good bit of Holly recently.

It's hard work, but after a while I work up a sweat and then it's time for a nice relaxing enjoyable break.

Sunshine and no wind this morning is very nice.

Farm forest stream hike Feb 14, 2021

 Went for a long hike in the forest and to some waterfalls on White Oak creek this afternoon, accompanied by pups and meows.  

It was 34 degrees F and spitting a little when I returned to the house, apparently some weather is headed this way.

Brought a pair of loppers and a file and did a little cleanup on the hike.

8.6 degrees F December 26, 2020

 Crisp and cold 8.6 degrees F this morning December 26, 2020 on the farm.

 We were not expecting single digit temperatures today.

The good news is that the forecast says the temperature will climb above 32 degrees and it will be sunny today so that is helpful with respect to the water drinkers for the animals.

Snow and Cold for Christmas 2020

 We received about 2" of snow on Christmas eve, it was 19 degrees F Christmas morning and the temperature remained below 30 degrees F on Christmas day.

As of about 10 pm on Christmas night the temperature is 12 degrees F, so far the coldest air of the season.

The outside air is still and calm and quiet and cold, the sky is clear with a bright moon and stars, and the snow on the ground is reflecting the natural light and making it easy to see.

I just returned from the barn, the snow / ice is solid and crunchy under foot, I wore my headlight but did not need to turn it on.

It is actually quite pleasant outside.

17 degrees F December 2, 2020

 Coldest temperature of the season, 17.1 degrees F this morning on the farm.

The water hose was frozen this morning for the first time this season.
