Love having you Patch, and I'm sure if someone can help you out, they certainly would be happy too.
Fighting all the ice here on the long driveway.....plenty of wood ashes used surly help the cause....finally some honey comb developing on the slope....one had to be careful, just to check the mail. We prolly have 2 feet of snow on the ground and walking anywhere off the paths would require snowshoes here....bring on Spring and all it's wonderful glory.
