A brief break from winter in Illinois

 

[GreX]

Started the day at 11°F, wrapped up at 23°F - 4-5" fresh snow yesterday, and another 6-9" coming tomorrow - Maine just won't let winter go

A little over 2 miles in, the pup was hating the boots, as seen here:

Took the boots off and snapped this photo about 1/4 mile later, pure stoke:

This is Geri, the Shepherd in my avatar and the best dog a guy could ever hope for. He couldn’t get enough of those long Maine winters. RIP buddy. . . .

You're gonna have to circle it or something. I'm getting nothing!

We "warmed up" to 5°F, so had to get out:

Just kick the pine cone so I can chase and destroy!

sure-sure just because I have my BABY brothers coat on doesn't mean I can't whip a Pine-cone lol...

Follow the center row of footprints, out to the second row of trees. Zoom in on the small opening, and you can see Bigfoots head sticking up.

Yesterday was another miserable day, only 7°F... but I had my favorite folder with me, so that was nice:

Very unimpressed:

Today, was better, sunny and twenty (degrees):

Much happier:

That’s wild - do trees usually “weep” resin or is it dying?

 

[Lorien]

humans like resin because it's anti bacterial- when a tree is wounded, either by insects or by damage, the sap flows from that wound, seals it up and keeps rot and infection at bay. We can make salves and balms with resin, but I like it for making leather preservative. It's also an incredibly good fire starter, maybe the best that nature has to offer
