Spring

 With the snow thrower safely tucked away now we can attach the front end loader to the tractor and get some serious snow removal done. We have had several nice days with the temperatures reaching into the 60's where we have been able to chop up some ice and experience some melting. 

At 9,800' elevation we must take advantage of these nice days as the high winds has dried the roads out and we need to get things done like get Jeep repairs that we have been waiting to safely accomplish. Like replace the windshield that has a crack from a stone hitting it. Getting groceries  and restocking, and getting dental and medical tests that we have put off due to prior snow drifting and muddy roads that are slippery where we slide around. 

Once I get the front loader with the bucket on the tractor I can remove snow a scoop at a time and not a shovel full at a time. Life in the mountains and hopefully this great weather we have been having will last a little longer. It has been so nice and pleasant out that we have been able to sit outside on the deck in lawn chairs. There is much to be done but it will be done one task at a time.
