Here comes the FROST.

   / Here comes the FROST. #21  
I've had frost the past 3 mornings at my place and I decided last week not to plant yet. The adage is memorial day so I'm sticking to it.

Did light the wood pellet stove though. No reason to freeze.

I too generally follow the "Memorial Day" adage, but at the same time keep a close eye on the weather forecast. After all Memorial day arrives as early as it possbly can this year. Tonight's temperature is still to hover in the low 40's here, after that I think the light turns green for us. I'll still watch the forecast closely tomorrow, but I think it will be safe to plant here tomorrow afternoon. I've been looking at this tilled up piece of ground for about two months now and it's driving me nuts.

Man, was it cold on the 360 going in this morning!! Was glad to get behind a school bus so I could stop occasionally :eek: Trip home was very pleasant, however, temps in the low 70s I think. Kept the long johns on until 10 AM!

Thomas, sorry I missed you! Just beginning to use the 2310 to get into the woods to haul some wood out. Borrowed my brother's splitter (didn't know he had one:D) and started cutting, splitting & stacking. I figure I've got at least 5 years' worth of wood just sitting on the ground or ready to fall....

Had to put a new drive sprocket and chain on the saw, still learning there, too! Charlie King sold it to me before he moved away, so it's an oldie. I'm told those McCulloch Pro-Mac 1010s make good boat anchors, but it still seems to get the job done just fine for me. Just gotta learn how to sharpen it properly and keep it out of the dirt....:eek:

Maybe the garden goes in this weekend...?

Haven't seen the moose yet, but we usually get at least one visit every year from one of the "locals." Thanks for the heads up. Wouldn't want to try to face one down on a 350-lb bike!

Different story today! Our temp records up here must look like a roller coaster schematic!!

Starting out at 56 this AM, supposed to hit 90 or close to it today... "summer preview," they're calling it. Biker's weather! :D:D (see the bugs on my teeth, Thomas?)

Sounds like the long weekend's going to be very pleasant; I'll take it!

Yeah, it seems there are more ticks this year- already removed two from the grandson. Black flies are subsiding a bit.... now, for the mosquitoes!!
