My old Ames Garden Buddy has bit the dust, my daughter gave it to me at
Christmas about ten or twelve years ago and it just can't handle my big
behind any more. Bought a deluxe tractor scoot from Amazon and it came
in today so I put it together. Hope it lasts at least as long as the
Garden Buddy. As a matter of fact I hope I last that long. G

you never know these days. do you have four
wheel drive, a reverse gear and mud flaps?

The front wheels swivel so I can steer it, reverse gear is pushing
backwards with your feet and no need for mud flaps. I do like the
pneumatic tires versus solid tires, they will probably last longer. We
have a steel wagon with pneumatic tires that is 20 years old and the
tires are still good. We store such things in the garden shed, may get
hot in there but not direct sunshine.

i thought mudflaps'd fit nicely with the dawg and the
gunrack...

i spray the tires on the wheelbarrows with some UV
protectant and that seems to help keep them from
degrading quickly.


Looks like rain again.

lucky for the drought in Texas finally getting a break from
all of these storms, with reserviors filling up again.

we've not seen much rain for the past few weeks, an inch
or so in three weeks is well behind normal. the ditch out
back is quite low for this time of year. i could almost
get in there and do some needed work on cutting brush back
and cleaning up a few things that have washed down from
upstream, but the water is still too cold...

Our cold water runs hot in the house for about two or three minutes when
turned on. Even with reflective foil under the roof and lots of
insulation the attic gets very hot.

sounds like some passive roof venting would help
there?


Put up the four pints of green beans this morning, waiting for the
pressure canner to cool down now. Made a birthday cake for Miz Anne, got
side dish ready for family birthday for Miz Anne and two great grands.
Gonna be noisy and lots of baby kisses.

aww! congrats to you all on being happy and holding
together after all these years.

nothing put up here lately. friend said rhubarb was
good in the crumble and that she added apples and
cherries to it. i'd give it a whirl... haven't met
a crumble i didn't like.
