Let the Tree Bleeding Commence

We put the buckets up, later than we usually do, but more in keeping with Vermont’s traditional “right after town meeting”.

I upgraded the ATV trailer, this thing can haul a lot more. With the tandem wheels and the 6′ bed, I should be able to bring construction material pretty much anywhere on the land.

Sanctions? All I can do is Slight Annoyance

Mandalagaba is no longer available in Russia or Belarus. That’ll slightly annoy about 30 people per day. It feels wrongly targeted at little people going about their lives. But it also feels like I don’t want to pay server time to provide something nice while they have Putin in power. I say all this knowing full well how close we got to having our very own dickhead motherfucker of the same vein seize power.

A Winter thaw seems to have awakened the squirrels. They first started going after the crabapple tree which has fruit at the oddest times of the year.

Then they got closer to the house and started raiding the bird feeders, as squirrels will do.
