Jim Says Goodbye . . .

        . . . to his John Deere riding mower.

Chris came on Monday night to take it, and was grateful to have it. We loved knowing it was going to a good home and that it will be well used. It's not new, it's got some miles on it, but its last years will be spent mowing the yard of a good plantsman.

The truck wasn't big enough for the trailer too, so he had to make two trips, but he came back and got the trailer and gas can and all the odd attachments that mystified me but were critical to the efficient functioning of the John Deere here in our garden all these years.
