9 Days to Spring!!!

With the wind howling outside and more snow in the forecast for this weekend, we are counting down the days until the official start of Spring -- 9 to go!! (March 20 6:45 PM is the Spring Equinox) We can definitely see the effect of melting over the last couple of days -- I can now see down the hill a bit from my office window (previously there was a wall of snow from where it piled up and then slid off the north roof). We've noticed a few small trees that have come down over the winter -- Firewood!!!!! Yes, the wood stove is continuing to work hard. Earlier this week we had a day with only 1 fire (rather than a morning and evening fire). Still, lots of cold days left even after spring has officially sprung.
