here are some pictures of my Folger's coffee can wire winder.
I took the pictures on the kitchen stove. Not a good idea..

Tractor I got recently.. down sized to a 54" mower.. most of the 10 acres is woods, garden and poultry
Smallest size they make with a decent bucket

you got the whole enchelada , didn't you? what brand is it ?
I have often thought I needed a grass catcher. more for picking up sticks and twigs than grass..

I just received an email from a friend.
someone hit and killed a cougar with a car about 25 miles from here. 5 miles from his place.. that is sad. they just did a short feature about cougar tracks from that area on TV, just a few days ago..

It is a Deere
The bagger is nice, unless the grass hasn't been mowed since August...
plugs up with long grass

the blast in Sun Prairie , Wisc made the national news. NBC I think.
a contractor ripped open a gas main. they evacuated hundreds of people. the fire dept was there when the blast happened. a fire chief was killed. no other deaths.
I didn't go out much today. all I got done was to put up a fancy clothes hangar for Annie's bathrobe and PJ's.
She made her point last night when she hung all of her stuff on top of my things without saying a word.. I catch on real quick.. LOL well, sort of. her hangar has been sitting on top of the dresser for about a month..
I capped a couple of pens with metal roofing. I really like that stuff. all of my buildings have metal roofs. and a few years ago, I did the house, too..

I love metal roofs too, fast and easy. Our log cabin has a metal roof but its lined with wood.

I wish hubby would get a bagger, then i could put the stuff in my compost bin.

One was sighted next door to where i lived in TN. I hate seeing dead animals on the road unless they are possums, racoons or woodchucks.

Does it have a snow thrower too?
I have an 'antique' JD L&G tractor for mow and throw, it's the bomb!

If you like to read and are interested in cougars here is an excellent book about them. Story starts with cougar killed by car in CT, then tells history of hunting them long ago and tracking them.
