Feb23rd and a normal winter storm dumped on us yesterday. But if you look down the road spring is coming.
The middle of winter is when you live off the work you have done all year so life slows down.
Spring is the awaking time to get get out and do the new planting and clean up.
We start planing last fall for the new trees that will go in this year. More fruit trees and plenty more fast growing fire wood trees for our managed supply.
Some more long term hardwood also.
This winter our short term living with no power from the grid was tested twice by power outages for a couple days, life went on.
We turned off gas heat for a week,to test our wood heat system good. We have some aggressive plans for this year around here.
Events have caused us to step up our plans a bit, not running for the bunker yet just preparing. We made the call to ride out what ever happens here, our way of thinking is many are going to try to avoid the cold and snow and flee to other areas. For us it just means we have to add winter in our plans.
It has not been a really bad winter ,but I am ready for it to be over, work to do and I want to get out and ride a bit.
What will you do with the coming spring?
