Trees Are Good
Welcome to Trees Are Good! We started this blog in 2014 to chronicle the temperature differences between our 2 pieces of property. It's a very interesting and ongoing log- haha get it? trees, log haha- OK enough of that... of temperatures from our pasture vs. our tree covered yard in Central Florida. We hope you enjoy Trees Are Good!
Trees Are Good - The difference in temperature between our Pasture and Yard that we fondly call the Tunnel of Trees beginning July 29, 2014
The new shoots on the Laurel Oaks are popping ~ from 3/12/25 - 3/23/25 these trees have transformed into quite the amazing sight!
March 12, 2025
It is 3:21 on 3/21 Hahahahahaha Trees Are Good!
70 degrees in the Trees
75 degrees in the sunny pasture
The Orange "Grave" is being transformed. What was once 10 acres of root stock Orange Trees, Camphor Trees, Cedars and Laurel Oaks is going to be Cow Pasture!
Trees Are Good on January 24th 2025 ~ it Snowed in North Florida on January 21st!
They got 4 inches of snow that afternoon! This is Joe Boyd walking back to their boat after some evening fun on a "buddy boat". They said it was tough to find where the dock was... and wasn't.
We Love Our Trees! Tuesday January 7th, 2025 and it's a 40° in Central Florida!
The old Orange Grove next door is being cleared for pasture... it's the ebb and flow of the land.
However, our Tunnel of Trees remains and it's 44 degrees here at 9:20 am.
Our Pasture is growing its own wild flower garden complete with 25 - 30 new Turkey Oaks that the Squirrels planted for us. It's 42 degrees in the Pasture.
It's wild how the trees hold in some of the heat during the Winter months.
Trees Are Good and so is Shade! Sunday Nov. 3rd, 2024 at 9:15 am
Trees are amazing things! September 10, 2024 at 9:30 am
The Pasture is at about 80 degrees also but as the sun came over the trees on the east side of the property, the temp rose 3 degrees in about 1 minute. So at 9:31 am without the trees to protect and shade it, this thermometer increased to 83 degrees!
Our 10th Year of tracking a thermometer in our pasture vs. our tree covered yard ~ Trees Are Good

Life is good! Trees are Good!
Trees are an amazing thing when it's almost 90 degrees in April in Central Florida
It's 9:00 am on Tuesday April 16, 2024. I headed out for a walk and this craziness is what I found.
It's a nice cool 68 degrees in the Tunnel of Trees.
The scary thing is that it's 88 degrees in the pasture.
The sun has only been baking on this pole since 6:53 this morning.
So in a little over 2 hours the temperature in the pasture is 20 degrees different from the
Tunnel of Trees.
Trees are Good! Treaty Oak in Jacksonville and Voodoo Plants are Amazing Things too! April 12, 2024
Trees are Good as we Celebrate Florida's Arbor Day Tomorrow ~ Jan 20th 2024
Today is Friday January 19, 2024, these pictures were taken at 9:51 am. The Tunnel of Trees and Pasture are holding about the same 68 degree temperatures. Winter has been average for us, mid 70s to 40s and 50s, nothing too crazy. This is my favorite time of year! We've gotten more rain than in past Winters but I think we're making up for the dry Spring and Summer we had. I've seen wetter Winters (2014/2015) for sure.
Trees are a good thing in December of 2023 and the old Ice House is getting revamped!
