Damage In Tolland

Noticed a new flowering bloom on one of the azaleas this afternoon, and hydrangeas still alive and well .. zoom in

3, 4, 5 , 6

Yup. So I’m the only one I guess other than FF county . There’s been frosts on car roofs and rooftops the last 4 mornings. Even today at 37

You could probably chart all the hilltops in the region especially CNE and SNE where the elevation isn’t typically over 1800 many places and you’d find that theme. ORH is almost identical to here. Look at both our last four days of low temps and highs. Almost dead nuts on

I just checked and it’s stayed in the 40’s everyday since Nov 3. Today may just kiss 50

I spent 3 of those days in the 40’s for the high . I take that in cooler months

At first , I thought that was S Wey. Looks the same

If it’s a snowless winter.. how will that be fun?

Nope . 32.0 for like an hour . This microclimate is fascinating to me . ORH same deal this past week

Look closer . It has the storm

Euro and Gfs have a snower after the warm week

You love that place as much as you talk about it . How often do you get there?

It’s crazy. Me and ORH.. the only places in New England still farming . Look at the two Wx stem stations in town now compared to me

From the age of 5 until 16.. every weekend in fall , winter , and spring was soccer and basketball games. All over the state , and well up into MA. Games, tournament’s you name it. And I wouldn’t change a thing. It was all so worth it . And the years go by in the blink of an eye. Now one a senior, one a sophomore about to get her license playing varsity together for the one and only year. And then when they’re at college.. You wonder what happened to the time and what you’re gonna do with no kids activities. And you reminisce

Any skating?

Scoots and Dendy just let it turn into a jungle and then wonder why the kids and chickens can’t see out the windows as the shrubs overtake the house.

We down with OCD. Yeah you know me Who loves Woody…. All the ladies

Cosgrove?

Use hand held shears . Not electric ones . You can sculpt much better

Most folks do. You have to keep up with them . Otherwise they just sprout everywhere

I prune all the shrubs weekly from June into Octorcher. Nothing worse than seeing shrubs all straggly and overgrown
