Lots of trees down everywhere by me. I lost a few in the woods. Add them to the pile. One was about a 40 footer. Neighbors lost a few in the woods. Warmest temp in the state was 72 on Wednesday. It was about 67 degrees by me. The winds got up there. Up into the 60 mph's by me with a couple of 70's................Had to get out the snowblower for the first time due to 8 inches of snow, 2 days before the heat wave. It would have eventually melted but the wifey needed to go to work. 2 Eo tornados about 50 miles from me......................Now that the field is cut behind my property, the owls have been hanging around. The more the merrier.............keeps the vermin population down and the hooting on a still night echoing through the woods is a sound you never forget. The coyote population is growing strong. Many more than last year. I've yet to catch one on the camera, but I see their tracks all over. I'm waiting to maybe pop off a shot or two with my revolver. They had a couple dogs snatched up by coyotes this past week in a city close to my old homestead. Population of about 70,000 people and 2 separate instances of dogs getting killed in the middle of the city. One of the dogs was 15 and small so it probably didn't put up too much of a fight. I told my wifey it was the perfect place for them. They have a river going through town, they have lots of parks, people put their garbage out, they have gardens, and the city is predominately liberal. She asked me what that meant. I said that they have plenty of food, water, good places to sleep, and a city that sits around a complains about the coyote problem but does nothing about it.
