With all of this talk of gardening spring is near/here/desired depending on location. As I look out my window at plum trees in riotous bloom, I remember I must check my hardy citrus that I planted last weekend. some people can garden without getting dirty, not me. Me either. Guess I'm just not the Martha Stewart type. lurking... lurqer

"I guess I should have been a farmer." Maybe that's why stocks interests us. I sort of see it like a crop, or a garden, that needs to be planted, cared for and then picked 'in it's season'. Then replanted again. Laughing when you mentioned 'farmer'. My other half and I bought a beautiful mountain home in the sierras. The place is on 5 acres of beautiful pines and incense ceders. At least that's why I bought it! Lol! I think my other half wanted it because it came with a really cool John Deere tractor with all of the 'attachments'! And I don't mean any small John Deere! Lol! This thing costs well over 20k now new. ... Don't ask me what we are going to do with it. However so far it has... a) helped clear the snow off of the driveway with it's snow blower b) cleared two new hiking paths around the property that the kids and my mother can easily traverse. c) carried the leaves and 'junk' away from the drainage areas. d) powered the house via a generator when the power got knocked off. Bob - the old owner of the home - called her "Nelly". So Nelly she is. A big old (well 85') green John Deere tractor.
