Now that we have a good supply of mud on hand, the frost coming out is adding to the misery of navigating around the farm. Kids enjoy it, but it's no fun when you're driving along with the tractor and all of a sudden - your front wheels drop in a hole - axle deep! The ruts and divets all up and down the farm driveway are enough to drive me nuts! I tink it's even beginning to get to Farmer Rick!
Had we not received that last snowstorm, I believe the ground would be dried out and we'd be in the fields right now. But that last snow really slowed things down. I can't even get into the horse barn with the skid steer to clean stalls. The driveway up to the horse barn is so thick and deep that I just spin. Farmer Rick had to hook onto the skid steer last night with a chain and pull me out. I hate making ruts in the yard! Once things begin to dry out, I have to go around with a rake and even things out. Disk and drag the the driveway, haul the manure pile, get caught up on cleaning stalls - so much to do! I can't wait for all of this to dry out!
One thing I have to be thankful for, though, is the moisture. After several years of drought, it's nice to see puddles again. Oh well, have to stay positive . . .
