Long Winter Weekend

A four day break from work, but much to do at the ranch. Cold weather came up the valley, and the winds (from a neighbor’s log) peaked at 81 miles an hour overnight Saturday night. A nice night to stay inside and stoke the fire.

The icicles can let you surmise which way the wind was steadily moving.

Just Walking the Park

Tee Shirt weather even though snowed in. It is only my little valley on the western edge of the lot, buried in tall trees, never getting sun; the rest of the park is navigable. Vehicles are being relocated, those with given features located for given needs within the park. Hiking home is part of the moves.
