At 2:30 pm today we officially ran out of places to push snow to in the yard. No more corners, nooks or crannies. I am only half kidding.... 3+ inches forecasted for Thursday.......

A couple hams....
Thought it was warming up. But it was still a bit brisk when we did chores tonight. Just the thought of 40° next week warms the soul. These 2 hams didn't seem to mind the cold.

Crazy ideas...
What goes through our heads sometimes? Why do we think we need to suddenly go get firewood when is is -13° F and the wind is ripping out of the NW at 30 mph and it is 8am. The answer is simple, sometimes we just have to prove we can do it even when others recommend against it, and especially if you are 7 or 10 years old.
Making feed...
A recent shot of grabbing a bale of ryelage in a blizzard. They weigh about 1300 lbs each, without snow on them.
This little silage fork
I ran some numbers on this fork. It has pitched well over 30 tons of silage the last few months. Pretty good piece of equipment. It starts even when -20°, the fuel is corn flakes or bacon which we grow around here and it never gels up. Not sure the resale value as it has some age and hours to it, but we are not looking to trade anytime soon.
