It's Snowing!
It snowed on Christmas eve, so there's a light covering on the ground and Today, it's snowing again. We're supposed to get several inches.
Bob and I went down today before the snow started to check on things:

• Hunter truck parked; having a good time in the woods, I'll bet
• the oil is just below 5/8ths
• the plants are watered
• the pond is iced over: it's been below freezing for the past day or so

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Thursday, December 20.
Bob and I went to thicut for a quick look. Everything's fine.

• watered plants, oil at 5/8ths
• Rene and Steve hunting again, said hello
• as Bob and I walked around (orange hats ON), Bob noticed 2 trees down. Broken off up high. One a spruce in the woods at the end of the field, the other the top of 'Paul's Blue Spruce': the dead spruce behind the rhododendrons. About 20 feet of it snapped off the top and lying on the ground! Very dead. There must have been a strong gust of wind?

All else looks good. Merry Christmas!

Another cool, sunny, day at Thicut.

• 2 state of CT trucks parked (probably Rob Rocks again?)
• house and yard are fine
• oil tank now at 5/8ths 

I stool outside in the quiet, listening to the rumbling brook in the distance. aahhh.  Peace.
