Spring projects galore. I've fixed a lot of things that were just sitting there waiting for me. The hardest project is also the most rewarding one, and that is clearing new pushouts on my mile long driveway. After a very tough winter, I finally talked myself into buying a small tractor with a loader and backhoe. Good God, I should have bought that thing 20 years ago. Yesterday, I cut brush and a half dozen trees in one spot in the morning, hauled brush to the burn pile, split & stacked wood, and in the afternoon was spent digging out stumps. Even with the backhoe there was a lot of shovel and axe work.
