Christmas Eve day Ricky decided it was time to begin tilling a garden spot for winter planting. He had purchased a nice new big tiller and staked out a large plot. Now we have always known that Marmaduke either loves or hates wheels. When I roll my wagon she runs around the wheels like crazy, barking and growling. When we roll the trash can to the end of the road she has a grand ole time. So it should have been expected that she would go crazy over the motorized tiller. She was so crazy that Ricky couldn't get his tilling done! Finally Marmaduke had to go on the leash. During Ricky's tilling one of our neighbors came over on his small tractor to spread our gravel, which had been pre-arranged. He noticed Ricky out in the pasture tilling and said he could do that for him in less time with his "other" tractor and disc. So when he was finished spreading gravel, he left and came back with his other equipment and made a few runs through the pasture and waa lah! we have a HUGE plot (about 3000 sq. ft) ready to prepare for gardening! And to top it all off he wouldn't let us pay him anything - said we were his neighbors!
