Spring is Here! Finally!

Our driveway in the winter. No Foliage colors here

Wow! I haven't posted here since last October. That was before the long winter, the 2nd worst winter in history for the Worcester,MA area. The "Fall Foliage Calendar" effect didn't last long and we settled into a long cold winter. Our outdoor wood furnace burned through over 12 cord of wood to keep us nice & toasty.

Looking up our road

Driveway with the big mound of snow (Loring Glacier)
 I was able to use the tractor to plow the driveway, but I had to keep it plugged in if I wanted to start it.  It's hard to start a diesel engine in the cold.  Even though it was pretty at times.




Finally all the snow melted. The last bit of snow in our yard melted on April 10.
The last bit of the "Loring Glacier"

Today, i was able to get outside and rotor-till the two gardens and getting them ready for planting in May.
