Called TMLP... they weren’t even aware our power has been out for 4 hours

Yup... sucks. Sump pump has a battery backup... now we wait too see if it actually works.

Powers out

Power flickered

Rain is impressive though

Peak gust of 30 here.... meh

Peak gust of 30 here so far

I might be..... the winds here have failed to exceed 30mph since I moved here except for that one event. Kind of strange

Peak of 24 on my home weather station so far... we cranked into the 50s in the Feb wind event

Yeah.... the whole thing literally was wilted on the ground... leaves were almost like a blackish color. Weird

Sell on high high winds here... looks better west

Planted my small hydrangeas last week.... had a hard freeze last night and they completed wilted, are they dead, or will they rebound?

I’ll sell 65-70 here... maybe 50.. prob more like 40-45 though

Not going to get into specifics to blow up your spot, but Congratulations man. That is an absolutely beautiful house and property. Enjoy

A bit off topic, but I went camping at a place called Russell pond, just south of loon mountain. Quick google looks like it sits at about 2000 feet. I remember looking at the trees around the pond and they seemed darker the first 5-10 feet up the tree. I always wondered if that was due to snowpack or not. I’d imagine that particular location got a lot of snow. That was almost a decade ago now but I always though that would be an awesome place to live, I’ll ever forget it. Just felt like an area that would produce prolific snow amounts

Beds edged... planted my hydrangeas and forsythia.... now we await the mulch

Just out of curiosity, what is the return rate for a system like that down here? If ever? Can’t be often

Yup... big money to maintain too. Plowing, and if it’s gravel, grading filling etc etc

SE Mass special on April 17th? Lock it up.

Yeah I think that was issue last spring.... it got hot pretty fast and just kind of burnt out. All my neighbors are on wells and they all have irrigation and run it daily, so I’m less concerned about running the well dry. I’m the only house on the street without irrigation, so keeping it wet is going to be the challenge

Is it too early to throw some seed down?

Edging the beds tomorrow and going to order some mulch this week.

When can hydrangeas be planted? Ordered some through a Nursery and they Are in really good shape, just obviously small having them shipped. Do I plant them now or wait?

No money so I just fertilized the entire lawn with the leftover starter fert from last year

I head ya... what you see is kind of what you get in my yard currently. The plan was to re do the back yard with loam and new seed but that’s obviously on the back burner until further notice now. It’s green and doesn’t look horrible so it is what it is. I literally ordered hundreds of bulbs that flower between late spring and fall to plant in our bed that is bare. Can’t afford to do what is really like to do which is line it with some nice bushes.
