still hanging around

It was such a nice day that I took a walk out to the woods even though the snow is over my boot tops in some places.  And the widowmaker is still up there.

There are two little trees holding it almost level so I guess it's going to take some trunk rot before it finally comes down.

not seeing too much rot so far, being off the ground hurts

 

I'm still debating whether to start drilling the maple trees, this would be kinda early but OTOH it's a shame to miss a "run" of sap.  It's been hard freezes at night but sunny and warm during the day - that's the recipe for both pot holes and maple sap.  I did see some budding pot holes on Thursday, evidence of freeze-thaw.
