Out with the old, In with the new

Some husbands give their wives beautiful flowers

Some husband will buy their wives a beautiful new diamond ring
and some husbands will even buy their wives fine fur coats
But after being married for almost 32 years my husband knows what to buy that will make be absolutely giddy with excitement!
A new tiller!!!!
My poor old 18 year old tiller, that has been put through the wringer, finally bit the dust a couple of weeks ago.  We pulled it out Saturday and DH worked and worked with it and found that there were just too many things wrong with it to fix it.  I didn't know it, but DH had talked to our neighbor earlier who told him that he had a practically brand new tiller for sale.  He had bought it brand new and only gardened for one year and so he sold it to DH for a great price.  I heard a tiller running and thought that DH had fixed the old one and when I got to the garden I see Yngwie tilling away with the new tiller.  I am one happy mama! 
(poor dead tiller)
I spent the weekend transplanting tomatoes and peppers and starting some herbs and flowers indoors.  I moved all the plants to the greenhouse and so far they are doing well.  I always worry that first week about the temperature in the greenhouse.  Especially this week as we are in the upper 70's!!!  
Have a great Tuesday!
Linda
