This is the path I had to shovel to the barn. I widened it with the tractor.
What It Looks Like
The tractor repair guy might be here today, but I doubt it. More likely to come as the week goes on. They said I could fill the tractor with hydraulic fluid and use it, just keeping an eye on the level. My farmer friend tells me not to take the chance. It's driving me crazy having the one driveway blocked but I'm trying to live with it.
Meantime, I shoveled a short path to the side of the barn by the arena to dump the manure for now. I can move it once the snow is gone--and the tractor is fixed. If I get up enough energy, I might shovel a path to the real manure pile. But we'll see.
Meanwhile, for your amusement, since I hope most of you don't have snow to shovel, here are some pics of the storm's aftermath.
Nothing like a little snow to make the winter interesting.
Icy the weather has not dampened your sense of humor!
ReplyDeleteToo bad about your tractor. We've had to replace the O rings in ours a couple times because of hydraulic leaks (it's a Kubota).
The snow looks very pretty from my living room couch. And Rosie looks like she's having a good time!
Tractor troubles always seem to happen at the worst times. Like the picture of Rosie - she doesn't look too concerned.
ReplyDeleteRosie is certainly making the most of it. That's a fun picture. Your other snowy pictures reminded me why I like living in California.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of hand shoveling! Rosie is adorable in the snow. At least someone likes it.
ReplyDeleteI am glad everyone likes Rosie. I can't wait til she is broke and I can ride her!
ReplyDeleteEven at this distance I find the tractor's problems frustrating, just when you need it. The snow will probably be melted by the time the tractor is fixed.
ReplyDeleteHow very funny - Rosie's face. Maybe she still expects that to eat she has to dig for grass.
