Mount Joy Snowman

Low of 66. Happy Friday.

Low of 65.

Sorry a bit late on this, but crystal ball says July will end with a mean temp of 78.0 -- tied with 1993 for 25th place all-time. Book it. Pretty remarkable considering where we were sitting after the first five days of the month.

Low of 66 with .3” of rain. A few beautiful days ahead.

Had to haha. We waited as long as we could but had to leave or would have missed the train. We were soaked from the knees down. Saw a couple people without umbrellas that looked like Swamp Thing. It was one heck of a storm but much less exciting down here at home.

Just had maybe my most insane walk ever through harrisburg, absolute deluge with constant lightning. Had a strike hit right near us as we entered the train station that scared the pants off everyone. Fun.

Low of 70 with .01” of rain.

Low of 64. Hopefully some beneficial storms in our future.

Low of 62. Boat day.

Low of 61. @Blizzard of 93 I’ll do the calculation Monday morning, have a busy weekend. Enjoy it y’all!

Nope, beautiful day. I think it was just his time ha. Yeah I have a neighbor who is a tree guy and his crew is here right now taking care of it, glad it's nice conditions for them.

For @Yardstickgozinya or any other tree dudes who want to chime in. Pic of the uprooted base.....

It was a white pine. I’m not entirely sure but the root ball does appear to have some rot and be a bit bundled. Maybe I’ll take a picture of the exposed root ball later and post it here and you can give me your thoughts. We do have a couple more of these pines but not quite as large or leaning.

Low of 54. Perfect days. Happy Friday.

Yeah it seems there was some internal rot but showed no exterior signs. Always looked very healthy and put off lots of new growth. I will say it was a leaner. From the moment we moved into this house I knew it could eventually go, despite its massive size and healthy appearance. The lean was in a direction away from the house so we never worried about it too much and luckily it played out that way.
