Spring has sprung (A.K.A. we need a tractor!)

Signs of Spring's arrival are everywhere (even though the weatherman is calling for snow tomorrow!) -- the daffodils are coming up, the robins are in the yard, and we've seen the geese headed North. This also means it is time to go buy a tractor so we can take care of the 22 acres that our new house sits upon.

Since the property used to be a golf course, we have large areas of the property that have been mowed every year and if we can continue to mow them a couple of times a year, we'll have grass instead of tall weeds. The tractor will also be needed for plowing snow, leveling the gravel on our 450 foot driveway, digging out the ponds to enlarge them, digging holes to plant trees, and probably a whole host of other jobs that haven't even occurred to us yet.

We'll head out to the house after we tractor shop, and I'll try to post an update later...
