    Hi Cpeters. Just wondering how things are going with selling the house and moving to a bigger space.

    Thanks! I have put many hours of work into it. I'm planning on moving so I will have to rebuild a new one next year. My family and I are searching for a farmette with some acreage. We just have to sell our home first. :(

    Congratulations on being farmer of the day! Snow, eh? We had almost none this past winter. Never even enough to take out a shovel.
    I'd love to see some pictures of your garden.

    Thanks! It's an off-road go-kart. Speeds up to 40mph depending on the weight. The snow blower was just being towed. I was helping an elderly friend down the road a ways get out from a storm we had. He took this picture and sent it in to Time Magazine.

    Very cool vehicle. Is the snowblower attached?
