"It isn't easy being green"... (Kermit the Muppet frog)
:-)
I keep telling Diana to think of the old tractors I buy as "invested
money" that is not at risk of me spending since I hate to sell any of
my old tractors...
I don't try to use that excuse when I buy a horse but I don't have to
since she likes them so much.
:-)
It is a good thing because she was doing a lot of the taking care of
them from last fall until this spring. I actually was able to work
steadily for over 4 hours on two days this week. Not in a row, still
it felt good. I feel really good, I just fizzle out quickly. Getting
better.

We were driving along the other day and she pointed off to the right
and said "Wow, look at that..." It didn't work. I had already seen
that 9N sitting off to the left with a For Sale sign hanging on it.
:-)
