I put in some tractor time yesterday, and it was nice to be out there when it wasn’t horribly cold out. Of course, it was kind of windy and rainy, but the temperatures were up in the 40s, which is doing pretty good this time of year. It was in the 40s when I got up this morning, even, but it’s down to 38° right now, and the rain is supposed to turn to snow. Six to twelve inches of snow, with “locally heavier amounts,” which means I guess it’s a good thing I moved the snow piles around and uncovered the parts of the driveway I haven’t seen in a while. Now, at least, I have someplace to push more snow when it arrives. Otherwise, I got a jump on my chores this morning, having cleaned the pellet stove, restocked the fireplace nook with a week’s worth of pellets, and am 2/3 of the way done with my laundry. If only I could get somebody to go and fetch me some plywood, I’d get a start on a few other projects I have in mind while I wait for the snow to start. I guess I’ll just have to sit by the fire instead.
