Since I would be using the tractor today, I used it when we put in two loads of firewood. With the warmer temps coming in, I moved more snow from certain areas and then opened up a few areas I hadn't been since the last two big snow dumps.

I moved a bunch of wet heavy snow down in the woods along with scraping down certain areas where the water was running or will run. Before I moved any snow, I loaded up the 3 point sander with 280 pounds of sand, everything will freeze tonight so I'll be sanding tomorrow.

We had 62 in the sun today.

We were in the woods today clearing dead and chipping brush again. Teresa seems to like running the chipper 😁 so it takes the load off me to cut and drag. After 4 hours a neighbor stopped by to BS and after 45 minutes of down time we called it lol. I should have never slowed down.
 
It was just another round of sanding the driveway with the 3 point sander on the tractor today. Hopefully the warmer temps coming in with the rain will get rid of all the ice on the driveway.

I’ve been cleaning up/ thinning/ coppice the hazels on my property…I’ve seriously cut back the largest one over in my orchard. Started out like this

I really didn’t want to lose the screen, but those overgrown, older trunks were too top heavy and major limbs were splitting.
And the messiest one in my front bank…which I have to get back to especially before the Asian hornets wake up around here…I didn’t take any picks
