Pleasant start to August with morning temps in the 50’s and fresh air and sunshine! True to the month of July, a early morning rain shower the last day of July yesterday resulting in around a half inch of rain. Overall July ended up slightly above normal rainfall keeping the woods and grounds green and lush.
We have been busy on the ski and mountain bike trails mowing/brushing and constantly clearing deadfall and cutting/splitting firewood. A few storms and wind events this summer bringing down the usual amount of trees, no structural damage to any buildings.
The woods are very lush and green and vibrant with wildflowers.
