Wednesday, 6:00 pm: Today it definitely seems like we are on the weather short-list for spring. Temperatures throughout most of the day were in the low 50s, yet our low last night was 20.3 degrees (F.). We barely kept the fire in our stove going today. And we had our windows and doors open. We still have about seven inches of snow at our snowstake, but it is melting quickly.

If you continue reading throughout spring and summer you will see how our weather changes radically from January to July. A few months from now I will be writing about all the work around our property; clearing brush and planting trees. But not just yet, I’m sure Mother Nature has more meteorological curveballs in store for us. I’ll keep you posted.

Because of the prolonged warm temperatures, our road is a morass of mud and more mud. Living on a dirt and gravel road has some advantages, but not this week. It’s just messy. Until next time . . .
