I have been raking the stones out of my lawn from the snow plowing this winter today. I'm anxious for the weather to break so I can start mowing grass,cleaning the garage etc.,of coarse those feelings wear off fast after starting.

It's close, almost smell that Spring is in the air...

But tracking 50# of mud into the kitchen doesn't go well with the 'other half' !!

Maybe next week it'll dry up, then the fun begins !!!

Began making maple syrup here on Monday. I have to carry sap through 2 feet of snow so there will be no lawn cleanup here for awhile.

Pu the blade on the b212 and set the skid shoes so the cutting edge was almost touching the cement sidewalk. Been "combing" the grass with it to get the majority of the stones back in. I need to invest in a landscape rake this summer as I have nearly half a mile of driveway to tend to. Would also be nice for grading.

Thinking about getting the "5020" with rototiller out. The garden is dry on top near the house and mother just bought 400 onions, but then sitting in the sun today was very enjoyable.

Lucas, don't buy a landscape rake. Get an IB with a rotary broom on the front. I saw a guy rotary brooming his lawn last spring. It looked like they way to go.

Been plowing (dirt) for the last few days. Hooked up the power harrow to the Kubota M110 and worked about 8 acres. Hauled a really pretty IH M back from the paint shop for a friend, and got two power adjust wheels for my D17. Hope to plant spring wheat tomorrow, chance of rain on Friday.
