The weather got CRAZY warm for February in the Taconics! 70 degrees for two days in a row
Picked up sticks in the yard and enjoyed a hike up to pinwheel point
The storms have been extra windy, and the pinwheel is long gone (will need to make a more storm proof pinwheel!)
I looked around for it, but no luck this time
Planning another trip into the woods soon!
