January Thaw on Tractors
Warmer again today. It got near 40 degrees according to our digital thermometer. It was sunny all day.
Moved some snow with the tractor. There were points where the tractor needed the tire chains on. There is a sizable drift that I haven't been able to chip much away. Much of it is the lack of a snow bucket and tire chains. I'll have to see what I can chip away with the blower now.
Time for bed. *hugs*
She was loath to testify against her friend.

loath • \LOHTH\ • adjective
: unwilling to do something contrary to one's way of thinking : reluctant
Did you know?
Many usage commentators point out that the spelling of "loath" the adjective is distinct from "loathe," the verb that means "to dislike greatly." Merriam-Webster dictionaries record "loathe" (along with "loth") as a variant spelling for the adjective, at the same time indicating that the spelling with an "e" is not as common as the form without it. Both words hark back to Old English, and the "e" ending in each has come and gone over the centuries -- but if you want to avoid the ire of those who like to keep the language tidy, stick with "loath" for the adjective and "loathe" for the verb.
