I was planning to finish out February with one more blog. Unfortunately that is not how it is turning out. We had another wind event and decided to do more landscaping by wind. Another way to phrase it is: Natural Tree Selection. We are expecting another foot of snow on Friday and we plan to […]

Valentines Day is a very important holiday around here as it is an excuse to doll up Cybil and prepare a feast for the family. The weather has been typical February around here, we get hints of spring and then get slammed with more winter. The critters and birds definitely think spring is a possibility.

We did a lot of brush cutting over the past two years and some landscaping by wind, losing a pine and a pear tree. We planned to burn the brush last winter but never had the right weather for it. To burn brush in Newmarket during the day, it is required to have snow cover.

It has truly been winter around here and goings on in the yard have been controlled by the weather.

Today was speshul because there was fresh snow, 12 degree temperatures over night and bright sunlight. This resulted in a lot of bird activity in good light for taking pictures. I can’t decided which is my

The most notable thing about early January 2022 was the weather, first there was freezing rain and before we could fully clean up from it we got seven plus inches of light snow. One interesting thing about the ice storm is that the ice melt from the roof created an interesting ice sculpture, you can

We are mostly agreed that 2021 was just another 2020 but I feel we need to document it’s passing. We did have a white Solstice: Saint Nickolas has been responsible for delivering Solstice gifts for quite awhile. I cannot complain as I had the best Solstice EVAH. You can tell how much I am appreciated
