New tractor :)

Funny how life takes you places. Spent our entire career living in places not of our choosing and mostly suburban.

When it came time for semi-retirement and heading toward full retirement, we also headed for the country, something not easy for my wife, as she was a city girl.

I am grateful, honestly really grateful to be finally be back in the country. Started with a BX and loved it, but when the gardening grew into a bigger scale than what I had anticipated, I too moved on to B2320 a few weeks back.

Parallels. It's interesting. We are very blessed.

Very nice property, I have followed your progress in the country and your tractors with great interest.

Wow, beautiful shots. I have never been to Michigan but have been told by neighbors who have visited there that it has some incredible places.

nice tractor and property. I don't know how you deal with all that snow. If we got snow like in that picture it would shut us down for a week.

That makes me smile!!!:laughing:

It's all about that to which one is accustomed, prepared for and equipped to deal with.

harpoonalt up in Vermont, or we here in northern Michigan see snow like that every year. Have since Jesus was 12.

I've lived just across the border in Louisiana, the Big Easy to be exact. Adjusting to the oppressive heat, humidity and bugs was not easy. Not sure I ever really did.

Frankly, I'll take our winters any day. We actually embrace them. We work and play outdoors, in the snow, and everything.

doall,

I agree with BP with the snow......if you lock yourself in during the winter you learn to hate it.....we like to play in it and it's just something else to do......some folks make lots of money with it too....

I know where you are coming from as most of my family lives in the Corinth,MS area and I was born in Memphis......But I actually look forward to the snow/winter coming up here.....

Beautiful place.
Hot or cold.
You guys do know that's why God made Kentucky, don't you? Not to hot and not to cold!!!:laughing: Course the expression in Ky concerning the weather is "If the weather does suit you, give it a couple of hours, it will change". I think it was 23 or 29 this morning and then back to the high 60's and maybe low 70's this week.

And the Vermont saying is we have 9 months of winter and 3 months of **** poor sleddin'.
I like winter, I just wish there wasn't quite so much of it!

I built a couple of homes up just north of Camden Maine. Beautiful spot on Penobscot Bay. The folks were great but some of the elderly mentioned the winters were tough on them. The younger folks seemed more opposed to the mudder season. I had no clue what that meant. They explained that is was the March/April months when the ground would thaw and constantly leave the ground wet. I was there from June to October. Really a wonderful time of year.

Winters not bad if you ski, plow snow or just do something outdoors to get some sunshine. It is tough on older folks who get stuck inside all winter. Why everyone heads south. Mud season is the time when all the dirt roads thaw and become a mess. Some roads become quagmires or get closed. Ours gets soft but doesn't rut up too bad. I'd love to retire south of here to get more warm weather and maybe just come back for the summers. The Carolinas look inviting just not much for snakes and creepy crawly things

Spoken by a born North Carolinian,
In our climate, The weather stays pretty mild most of the time. There are a few temperature spikes that last for a short time. The Summers reach the high 90 degrees (88 days over 90 degrees this year) with almost 100 percent HUMIDITY!
