I got out at about 8 this morning and got all the plowing done. It is now sit and veg time.
There is snow in the forecast right up until next Thursday.

Clear skies and a light fall of snow made for a much brighter start this morning. I had the same issue as farmer, with snow keeping the frost from penetrating deep. After breaking through the surface while moving half a dozen big "square" bales, I decided that was enough mess for today.

Rick, that is a substantial table. Another good example of how life is so much easier with a FEL.

RNG, nice camera work to capture the eagle taking off.

I took a couple of pics for those that can't get out into the fields today.

Back from slipping and sliding to PT. Just took about 10 minutes longer to get there than normal. Then stop at doctors office for a blood draw. Next stop was Menards. Then Aldi's because Menards milk cooler was empty. Back home conserving energy.

Came back in to rest, got lots done this morning, and was going to take a nap but Massey dealer just called and they said they were bringing the tractor back in about 45 minutes. Sure not going to nap through that...
Lot of walking on tired feet, no way I have found of not avoiding at least one full length of walking from the road to the barn, regardless of where I position golf cart. One or the other it's a long walk. Good for me though if I get cramps tonight I'll know what to blame.

Washed my car on a relatively warm day, put air in the tires and put almost a full bottle of washer fluid in it.
Guess I was a bit overdue on that. And no oil dipstick. Stopped myself this time before I went looking for it.

Well, at least it will be nice to get my tractor back even if it's about to start raining again. Barn feels empty.

Toppop, really liked your worm story.

that's still on my list for today, taking chopped up veggies and throwing them in.

Kyle, just had cabbage soup with Cholula's Chipotle sauce, wow that was good. My wife make it with purple cabbage for the unique color, with a few potatoes and a onion and then blended smooth.

RNG neat pic!!

A panaeri 38mm, that's like a tractor on the wrist!

TD, why blender it? Used as a sauce?

We blend the cabbage soup to make it creamy. The potato makes it thick.

The dog class this morning was just cold. The Temp dropped below freezing and with the wind, the wind chill was 24 ˚F. Whipper is learning right and left directions and how to LEAVE IT - the command not to do something she is doing.

The pickle ball beginners class was a more "Texas" temperature. They delayed the class till 2PM and the sunny temp was 52˚F. I now know the significance of zero zero two. But to learn that I lost out of a afternoon of trail blazing, I don't know if it was worth it, but you need to try new experiences every once in a while.

The well water at the gardens has been turned off till Friday because of freezing temps but I'll run by there tomorrow and offer tractor services - Free! If no one needs any the head tractor guy wants a mulch pile moved, it's huge and could take several days of seat time to move it, it's about 30 dump truck loads. I also need to work on my plot sometimes.

Gracie knows leave it, right and left, come, stay, and she heels, but only if you point to the spot. Right and left are her right and left, so if she is coming toward you, it痴 like an RC car, your left is her right, like stage direction. She knows bed, food, bowl, water, potty, poop, etc... I don稚 know what her training was, Ellen got her that way from the shelter, and I got them both as a package deal.
