Easy to entertain old folks here in the Swamp. Just this year, there are 3
'zero turn' new tractor/mowers. Closest neighbor took down a peach tree,
the next guy's gazebo has a sort of tilt to it. Our own casualty was the
mail box. Easy fix. We have a pasture with nothing on it but one oak tree.
I'm wanting to go try 'zero turn' when the weather's cooler. Polly
