Welcome to Frugalbundance February
This was one warm winter month. Most days the temps reached the 50's and several made it into the 60's (a high of 65.6 F according to Jeanne's weather journal). The hoophouse did great, cranking out salad greens, greens for cooking, radishes, carrots and beets (above).
And, we took advantage of the warm weather by cranking up Ryan's tractor and put in 50 or 60 cedar posts for the start of a new, higher, stronger, more goat proof and wind proof garden fence (below).
It was so warm, Jeanne started making goat milk yogurt smoothies with berries from the freezer. Here she enjoys one during a fence post digging break. Her expression says, "Sorry, I've got several more swallows of smoothie left. Since you finished yours first, you can do the next few posts."
Linc's response was to go mountain biking with Gabe and John on the Sidewinder Trail down in Delta. It was great riding, especially for February in Colorado.
Warm enough to start the old backhoe, pretty much impossible to start below 50F, and dig a hole for a new solar panel array pole mount foundation.
All that work and play means time to relax and watch the sunset.

I wonder if winter will return in March?
