We're still dealing with Buck's injury. Brian was here on Wednesday to assess and flush the wound as it has continued to drain, and he took a swab for culture & sensitivity; he just phoned and said it's growing a couple of nasty bacteria, so tomorrow we start a new antibiotic - this one injectable. Buck is generally fine, no swelling, no fever, good appetite and seems his usual self, but he has an open wound in an area you just can't do a thing with as far as dressings etc.
On Thursday, the service guy came up from Douglas Lake Equipment in Kamloops to do the tractor's first service. The tractor has about 70 hours on it, which seems amazingly little considering the amount of work it has done for us since we got it last May. It has scraped, raked, dug many large holes, moved boulders, lifted contrete blocks, tidied up manure piles, built burn piles, carried endless loads of firewood, spread gravel and sand, and plowed snow.
Yesterday we were up in Williams Lake, they have almost no snow there at all. The snow more or less ends at Lac la Hache. Nearly all the cattle we passed were grazing rather than eating hay. We're about knee deep here.
A little new snow last night. It's a beautiful morning here.

They can have some of ours if only I could figure how to transport it!
We are -6C right now but expecting about 10cm of snow starting this afternoon. It is getting black as I write.
I hope Buck's wound starts healing up soon.
