The tractor, set up for mowing, was pulled out of the shed where it spent the winter months. The driveway snow markers were removed until next winter. The first spring barbecue […]
04/04/2021 The tractor’s battery needs to be charged so we can get it out of the shed. The green house needs to be assembled over the garden. The Travertine in the upstairs shower needs to be scrubbed and resealed. Which is why, on this Saturday, my wife and I decided […]
