Beautiful.

What a nice day! No wind and warmer enough to try to melt the snow. Hooked up the team and fed a bale for the first time with them. They handled it pretty well, tho’ I would hate to make them haul a bale very far if the snow amounted to too much. The mare is a little lite and a little young yet, but in another couple years I think they will be crackerjacks. They even stood calmly and waited while I closed the gate after feeding. I hope to keep using them every day now unless I have to fight drifts.  I used to read the Smnall Farmers Journal, a great magazine all about using teams, and they always said, in reference to your team, “The more you use them the better you will like them. The better you like them the more you will use them.” They were right!
