Recent forest work

Thanks to a variety of tools and carrying of downed biomass, some future firewood and kindling has been stacked near the house. Axe work this morning, a very beautiful day after lots of weekend rain, added to this nice pile.

Thinning constitutes important work in the forest as an effort to improve chances for survival of other trees. Yet, so many places will remain untouched, like this fine birch grove.

Natural color

Late spring means daisies and lupine!! Cloudy and rainy lately, but our seasonal flowers have been really pretty this year!

The Light of June

The month with the most daylight started with plenty of it! A completely blue sky has dominated the day, although the low temp at the house belies the brightness. We were 42 degrees, with the temp down the hill perhaps 36. Daylights started a bit after 4 a.m. There will be a hint left at 9:30 p.m. What a fine day to be a solar panel!
