The thermometer on the weather station out back read -4F when we got up this morning. The insulation work we did the last two years has been a huge help this winter, but it looks like the low single digits are about the limit, and our high efficiency gas boiler is struggling to keep up. Looking forward to some warmer weather, it has been a frigid winter.

On the bright side, the sustained snow has been nice to look at and play in, and we are hopeful that we’ll see fewer ticks this summer from the long periods of very low temps.

I see that the bird feeder is empty, I better go out and refill it.
