I am starting to get sick of the snow...

I could use some fresh snow. Cover this grass, so I wouldn't need to mow.
Send some this way.

Kinda' neat how the slightly different way that everything looks with the higher sun angles casting shadows in a way that one would not normally see this late in spring with this amount of snow on the ground. But, it will melt fast!

Sure, snow is an inconvenience... but then again, it is not so bad. I guess it really depends on how you look at it.

There are days like this morning. Snow fell overnight to greet the waking of the morning with clear blue sunshine sky on the first day of this Memorial Day weekend. After blustery and cloudy days for a good part of the preceding week accompanied by whether forecast calling for several inches, the bright sun on the capped winter wonderland scenery makes spring snow almost worth it!

I caught the attention of the resident moose who was rummaging around seeking breakfast while I sipped coffee on my deck. With a very odd look in his eye, he turned toward me as if to almost ask what the hell is this white stuff doing on the ground this late in the year. I think he rather than me is more upset about it. Don't worry I nodded back, it will melt fast.

Marquette- sounds like you have your hands full.

Definitely know what mitigation is all about. A small saving grace in the High Country is the lower temps compared to the Front Range.... some 25^ less overall where I am at, not that temps alone prevent fires.

I am quite some distance to the nearest thick wooded area but the willows have overgrown my property and am thinning those back. Those things are like really big artichokes... keep peeling back more and more and they never seem to get to the core... and the dead branches underneath seem to be more prevalent than the live branches! I tossed the pruning shears and got out the chain saw!

A lot of work in the clearing that you did... hopefully it will not be needed this summer.

Left my Colorado cabin yesterday morning and it was 30 degrees. Been there for 2 weeks doing fire mitigation. Nothing like dropping a 40 ft tree into 4 ft of snow and then trying to limb it. Fire mitigation for those of you not familiar with it is cutting every tree down with in 30 ft of a structure, limbing up 10 ft for 100 ft around a structure and putting a non-combustible around the structure for 7 ft. Then hoping your insurance company will not raise your rates by 3-4 times because you are in the mountains. Hard to get into the mindset of it when you are working in snow,m mud , freezing rain or falling snow. That is my rant for the day.

Yes it has been cooler here in north Fl. Just in the mid 80's. In just a few days it will be in the high 90 plus humidity will make it feel in the 100's.
