128. Spring has sprung
Tue Apr 8, 2025, 11:37 PM
Apr 8

Summer soon. Lower elevations are sprouting leaves everywhere. I am surrounded by massive acreage of forest.
Lots to wipe with. Big fuzzy Royal Paulonia, (Paulonia tomatosa) works well and soft.
Rabbit populations thrive and blow up here. Berries of multiple varieties, apple trees everywhere. Summer will be fine. And I am a damn good fisherman. Lakes are bountiful, streams are loaded with trout. Just need to stock up on guitar strings.
