thaw

It is very dark this time of year. The winter solstice is on Monday, but temps in the 40's overnight. We didn't even start up the wood stove last night which is very unusual for this time of year. Wood smoke from neighboring houses shows wind from the south on most days. Last couple of winters it's been mostly from the north. The other day I split up a couple of large chunks of wood. The splitter went into the ground a couple of inches. The ground isn't even frozen. Squirrels very active which is usually the sign of a thaw, but you have to have a little cold weather in order to have a thaw, and we really haven't had any. Weather to stay unusually warm for another couple of weeks at least.
