An afternoon off!

I decided that I needed to spend some time outside after a long winter working inside. So I simply ignored my calendar and loaded the XL Tripper onto the Yukon gathered up my new paddle and a life vest. I decided to head down to Seven Tree pond in Union to see how high the water still was in the St. George River. It was a calm but cloudy afternoon, the water is still very high but dropping rapidly. I noticed on the trees that the level had dropped about six inches in the last day or so.

What a change in the weather

Last week cold snow wind and rain this week 80 degrees sunshine and the daffodils are in bloom on the lawn. In fact for the last few days we have had flood warnings and high fire danger. The floods a result of the rapidly melting snow pack to the north and the fire danger due to the drying breezes and warm temperatures. You have to love New England weather.

At last the storm appears to be passing

The storm of the last few days is finally loosening its grip on us. We have over 5 inches of rain and some incredible wind. We were without power like many in the area for a day and a half. We are truly fortunate because we heat with a woodstove and it still works even without electricity. The new Jotul 118 definitely proved that it is worth having around as we were warm throughout.
