Cool end to May

The morning low was 39! A great time for some more work. We took down and started processing a large red maple. 

Before/After Satisfaction

We completed the birch processing project this morning! A before/after duo of pics provides much satisfaction. Rain expected this weekend, so we wanted to get the job done.

Birch processing

We accomplished much in two hours today. The low was 45, with a freeze warning in place for tonight. The cool weather makes for glorious times processing firewood. A lovely birch about 200 feet north of the house didn't bloom out this year. It appeared to suffer much last summer in the heat, with leaves turning from green to tan well before color season. Even the most beautiful things can't live forever in the forest.
