Thanks to my next door neighbor, the driveway from the car to the road is now dug out. ‘Joe’ was driving by & stopped to offer to get his skid steer & finish what I still had to do - I accepted that offer. It took him 5-10 minutes to plow what would have been another hour at least for me to shovel. We have not met before so chatted awhile & exchanged phone numbers.

There is still no path from the house to the car so I might work on that tomorrow. We have an appointment Thursday in the Big City so some sort of a path would be helpful, especially for mom. Yesterday, I was postholing, but after the frigid night, I could walk on top of the sleet/snow to the car, only fell through 3 or 4 times.

Batch #2 of the Beef Barley soup will be ready for dinner - I love that stuff!

Those are the kinds of guys to have in your phone! I have all the young men from the surrounding farms in mine - just in case something heavy needs to be moved, I need hay or straw delivered, the steer escapes, etc.

But, never in a million years did I ever think my ‘emergency contact’ (besides Beau) would be someone named ‘Enos Yoder,’ LOL!
