Posted last Saturday about what everybody was doing - just cause there wasn't much talk on here.
Now I can't even keep up - guess it's time for new computer and/or glasses!

PS: Waiting for the glennster to come out and let us know how many more days to planting garden.

Yes, cabin fever definitely. We're in the Catskill Mts. in NY and forecast to get 8 to 16" by tomorrow afternoon, and then another storm on Thursday, which could be another foot. Oh well, my trusty snow machines are ready, F20 with bucket loader and Cub with plow. Will have to do a lot with the F20 at first as the snow will be heavy, and finish up with the cub.

I know what you mean .. I put sliding doors on my tractor shed last summer and now there in 3 inches of ICE from water melting off roof ... so it's going to be awhile before I will be able to drive one of my tractors ...

I dumped a sliding door and put up an overhead for that exact reason.

BTW, I've had cabin fever since November.

we froze and canned some and my mom loved to give to her friends . One season she was sick and we brought the crops to her bedside so she could have fun passing them out to her friends.

Same here with the doors. And the cabin fever has been bad for quite awhile.

No cabin fever here, been too darn busy. I only got about 2 weeks left to get in three weeks work on my winter project( hope chests for my granddaughters). Gotta get busy. I use my tractors all winter hauling firewood so I'm not denied some seat time.

We're up on a ridge between Accord and Kerhonkson. Beautiful area and unspoiled by a lot of building.Right now 12" snow on the ground and more to come tomorrow and Friday. It's 9 am and I haven't started plowing yet. Guess I'd better get going.

None here either- warmest winter on record. It was down in the 40's yesterday, and everybody was complaining!

Got a strawberry patch planted last Sunday. Garden spot is almost dry enough to work up. Need to do it soon, so I can plant too early and have to replant later.

Dad always told about an "open" winter they had in the late '40's, and just for fun, he planted some corn in February. Neighbor said he was crazy- dad replied, "Yeah, I'm out a dime's worth of seed if it freezes- but what fun it will be if it doesn't!" It never froze again, had about the right amount of rain, and they had roastin' ears on the 4th of July. Took some over to the neighbor, who took dad's ribbing (and the corn) in good spirits.
