Nice stretch of a few days of above normal coming up.

Yeah. Its from 2015 and I never covered it and have only had to replace the battery on the igniter twice and the burner covers. Its well built with stainless steel everything including the fastners. Easily will go another 10 years.

Yeah. Great evening to fire up the grill. What a leaf out as well. Feels like summer is just around the corner.

Yep. 2nd sunniest April in the last 5 years according to my solar panel data.

BDR looks like it could use it. Has it been that dry there or just BDR missed out?

No frost here on the shoreline the last 2 nights. BDRs low was 35 yesterday and 33 this morning.

I have noticed a few large Green Ash that seem to be hanging on and still look healthy in my area. I talked with a Forestry Professor from Yale who said they are finding some that they call lingering ash. Some kind of genetic resiatance. Some good articles out there if you google more on it. Lingering Ash (EAB Resistance): In North America, a small percentage of ash trees have survived EAB infestations. These "lingering ash" suggest a genetic basis for resisting the beetle, allowing for efforts to breed a new generation of resistant trees.

I do 2 bags of this every year. Amazing stuff. Bag says its made from waste distillery grains from Portsmouth NH. So most likely from some brewery up there? Its not cheap but I'll spend the extra money so my dogs aren't rolling around in chemicals...

Jonathan Green? Thats some high end clover seed. You should try throwing down some of their Black Beauty grass seed. I hear the chickens go wild for it..

That back edge is racing east quick. Hopefully you break out into some sun. Cleared out here the last hour and its beautiful out.

Yeah. Getting some nice breaks of sun here ..

Cant wait for the heat and dews.. let's hope for another special summer that kicks off in June..

These old Craftmans are tanks. Ive been trying for like 20 years to kill this mower. Came with the house for free and I have done basically zero maintenance on it. Crashed it into many trees, zero oil changes or maintenance, etc It just keeps mowing every year... haha

Yeah. Tomorrow looks pretty nice as well. Even Upton says it short lived. "The cooler regime appears short-lived, with gradual moderation returning conditions to above normal by midweek."
