Friday, April 1, 2011 April Fools Day A cruel April Fools joke, played by Mother Nature, if you will. The weathermen really hyped this storm all week, predicting 14 inches of new snow today. Perhaps an attempt to drive up their ratings. Fortunately we only ended up with about 4 inches here and much of that has melted. So the joke is on the weathermen and for that I am quite thankful.

Thursday, March 31, 2011 Log Jam Jason is back at work this week, running the forwarder up into the woods and hauling out logs that have been snowbound for the past two months. This batch is bound for the pulp mill.

Wednesday, March 30, 2011 Dreaming of Green Grass Caspian has taken to nibbling at the tufts of old grass that are starting to appear in places as the snow slowly recedes. Regrettably a significant storm is forecast for Friday which may further delay the appearance of greener pastures. Fortunately there is plenty of hay in storage.
