Is It Spring? January 23rd, 2017

Over the weekend we hit a record high of 13 Celsius, with mild temperatures being present for over a week now here on the mini farm.  We took full advantage of the situation with the lack of snow to work on the southern fence line which was a tedious task that involved pulling out sumac trees, cutting out brambles and poison ivy, rolling out rotten logs, and pulling grapevines out of the cedar trees.  We got a descent sized section done:

Our next section will probably take up a good couple of weekends to complete:

Both the chickens and cats were enjoying the warm temperatures and lack of snow.

The ice on our pond completely melted by Sunday.  It looks like we still have a lot of fish! 

Aaron started a fire, got some coals going, and we had a supper of fish stew along with some Canadian cider.  A nice way to end a hard days work!
