Erik's parents came up on Sunday to help us around the yard. They worked so hard. It made such a big difference. I don't think the yard had been raked in 10 years or more. Ardell raked and dumped leaves, while Karl ran the WheelHorse. Did I mention our latest addition. After careful shopping on craigslist, Erik found a 1971 Wheelhorse lawn tractor up in New Gloucester. He happened to buy it from a Wheelhorse enthusiast and the online Wheelhorse website founder Micah. The tractor came with a mowing deck and a snow blower. We are looking for a rototiller attachment if anyone knows anything about that.
Anyway, since Erik took small engines in high school he is pretty good at fixing some of the issues it came with. He replaced the hydrolic line and has big plans to change out the muffler. So, Karl had it purring all day Sunday- he would stack up the wood in the cart and drive around the house, back in behind the shed and unload the wood, stacking it in tidy stacks behind the woodshed. Then drive it around the front of the house- to pick up more wood and do it all again. Bartlett was such a good girl during the day- at one point she was being VERY quiet and doing her own thing. Until we realized why she was so quiet. She found a skull- maybe a possum and was contently licking out the brains. Ewwww. You can see the sad look on her face when we take it away from her. So sad...
