I learned something new yesterday...

For a while now I have been wondering why the leaves on some of the trees have remained green despite the snow and time of year. I guess it is because we had a late spring and an early fall, so the trees didn't get enough "heat units"...or in other words they didn't get enough days of 5 degree or more temperatures. Hopefully this warm break in the weather will be enough to allow the trees to go into dormancy as well as give the horse's a second chance to grow a real winter coat!
