Tuesday, March 20, 2012 Squirrel Patrol Baldr has spotted a squirrel in the distance during our hike last Sunday. Another exceptionally warm day today with temperatures running approximately 30 degrees above normal for March and expected to continue that way through the week.

Sunday, March 18, 2012 Wilderness Walk We took advantage of an exceptionally warm March afternoon and hiked back into the forest along the Wilderness Trail. The old logging road eventually becomes a barely discernable trace but with no foliage at present we were able to follow it well enough.

Saturday, March 17, 2012 Saint Patrick's Day Work continues in the lower pasture area with remaining trees being felled. Stumps are left high to facilitate removal. Here it is mid-March with no snow and warm weather, this is easily the earliest spring I've experienced. Even warmer temperatures are coming this week.
