On days like today, when there’s 3-4” of slush on our driveway, I am grateful for my 5 ft wide, 39 hp diesel snow shovel, a.k.a. Kubota L3710 tractor. Makes quick work of clearing the HEAVY slushy mix❄️

Pet-sitting for a 60+ y.o. parrot this week, while our friend the owner is in town visiting her parents for Thanksgiving. He fits right in with all the rest of the senior and special needs animals in our home and farm.
