Good morning, May 17th. It was a wet, wet, slushy trip to work this morning.....AFTER I returned home for mr. chainsaw to come clear a tree that had fallen across the road blocking my way a mere 3 km from home.
I really didn't think I'd need snow tires in May. Actually it's illegal to run studded tires past the end of April so mine had to come off.

This weathers all wacky nothing in between it seems, I've had to crawl back thru a window to get the keys before, or stop to get a tire changed... know have never had to run home to get the chain saw (you Go Girl) :)

Its been quite a winter, alright! Chain saw to get to work - had to laugh! Thats a real example of the flexability needed to survive in the north woods.
What do you teach - saw that in your profile.
One fall while my hubby was deep in the mountains hunting for 4 days/nights, a windstorm took out a 60 foot fir tree in our meadow - not so bad, except it landed across our electric fence & opened a new "exit" for the horses. I had to use the chain saw to cut the tree trunk & branches in order to repair the fence - that job couldn't wait for hubby to return - horses may have been into the next county by then.
The tree provided many hours of warmth from our woodstove after it was sufficiently dried to use for firewood. :)

BTW, looks like you also live out in the woods - just farther north than we are. Where in BC are you? We have friends in southern BC & Manitoba.

Here in central Alabama it was high 80's last week, then it rained and the temp dropped and it is downright cold again. Think weather changed because I put away sweats and coats for the summer so it is my fault.

That is just so wrong. What's up with our funky weather this year?
