Put some fertilizer/crabgrass control on the lawn and ran the gas out of the snowblower yesterday. This is one of the first winters that I can remember that we didn’t have enough snow to use the snowblower. Also charged up the battery on the electric start lawnmower. I had already put lime on the yard a few weeks ago and with the rain expected tomorrow and the way the lawn looks now, I would think that I will be cutting grass by next week. 
On another note, yes we stay at home now, except to go to the store or get gas. I walk my chihuahua each day if the weather is nice. There are only 5 cases of the coronavirus in our Franklin County at this time. I believe, unfortunately, that the numbers will rise. My daughter-in-law who is a physician and on the board at the hospital, said that if this becomes unprecedented in this community and she has to live at the hospital that even though ICU is not her specialty, that she is prepared for it. Hope it doesn’t come to that.

I sincerely hope you all stay safe. 

Thanks much.

I love the old tractors! 

She always makes me laugh,

Very nicely done

I like the farm, all farms for that matter. Congratulations on a wonderful job. When I visit my friends on the farm a few hours away where I hunt deer, I can just sit in the barn and smell the hay. It brings back memories of when I was a teenager and lived in Lancaster County Pennsylvania and worked on a dairy farm during my summers off from school. Some of the best years of my life. 

Looks absolutely wonderful! 

That is excellent and nice detail! 

Extremely nice!

Christmas 2019. A John Deere Model B old style (some say unstyled) by Ertl, 1:16 scale diecast. 
These were manufactured from 1935 through 1938. Overall, the different Model B tractors were produced through 1952.

This model has movable steering and a working fly wheel. 
 

Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year to all!
 

Great photos, nice to see them and something different for me! 

The Yule Log looks very delicious, one I have never seen. Sounds like a great recipe. I usually buy a fruit cake from the grocery store.

And also wanted to wish all you fine folks a very Merry Christmas. I never let the holiday go by without watching “A Christmas Carol” on the tube. I really like the 1951 version. 
 

I did not take the photo, it was sent to me,

And this one, minus the mirrors: 

I was up in the attic searching for parts of an old train set and came across these 1:64 scale toys. I had forgotten that I even had them:

That’s a very pretty model.

I like your shed, and your cattle.

John Deere 6175R  All done...………..Hardest part was removing the 6250s rightside steps and then merging the cut out 6210s steps in place behind the bigger exhaust system.  But its worked out ok and looks true to a the real thing.  I used the wheels and tyres off the 7430 and filed down the centre dish part of the 6210s rear wheel a couple of millimetres around its radius and push fitted in place and spray painted.

Beautiful work there!

You do great work, just beautiful!

Sharp looking!

Finally had a Doctor my Local GP practice actually listen to how I feel and how long it has been going on for, so finally after 8+ years of worsening fatigue, headaches, numbness and muscle cramps I am being referred for testing to see if I have MS

and yes I am pleased to be sent even if it dose mean I might have MS, as at least I will know why I feel so bad some days

I am truly sorry. I have waited for test results myself, it is not a pretty thing. I hope the results are favorable for you and that perhaps some other diagnoses may be made. But it is best to have these tests and then make plans from there. I will be thinking of you, saying a prayer, and hoping for the best for you no matter the diagnosis.

Very nice truck, love the color.
