Our weather is still well below freezing. The ground is getting even harder. Today the one pocket gopher left to trap again filled the trap with dirt. I decided to move the trap up his tunnel a bit to confuse the gopher. When I dug the ground I had to really work and chip away at the frozen ground. I hope I get this gopher soon as the weather forecast this weekend and next week has an Arctic front coming with snow and then sub-zero temperatures and wind with wickedly cold wind chills. North Dakota and Minnesota type of wind chills.
On my to-do list before Winter was to mark the locations of the tree stumps in the pasture so I can easily find them for later digging and burning. Quite a number of them are less than a foot above ground and most of the year the grass hides them. I cut the ends of almost 20 boards to sharpen them in order to make it easier to drive them into the ground. However, by the time I got the boards sharpened the weather changed and the ground is now too hard to pound the posts into it. I guess this is now an early Spring project.
