I despise blowing snow but when the township asks for help clearing roads to ensure emergency services can respond to calls when needed, you head out and get at it. #blizzard22 #ontag #Christmas

Hay wasn’t quite dry enough again after the last rain so we opted to wrap it and not chance another rain. Sun came out and we likely could’ve raked it again for dry 🤷‍♂️ #fuckinghay #ontag
