The temperature continues to drop; the north wind seems unwilling to abate. The ground has already frozen hard. Time to get to work!
I’ve been waiting for the winter cold to make the trees go dormant so that we can cut some of them. As reluctant as I am to cut any of our living trees (see Attitude Adjustment through Animism) we’ve accumulated a list of trees that need to be trimmed, pruned, or felled through the winter.
