Plunging to -35C

Sure enough, La Ninja temperatures arrived through Saturday evening to give us -35C on Sunday morning, the cold point of the year to date.   The trees in the forest are snapping with the cold, this majestic old and spreading oak is next to where I am making my manure pile from cleaning the barn and paddock.   It will nicely compost away from direct contact with the tree and may help to promote some strong acorn growth for the next generation.
