Late winter

I have plenty of great Christmas pictures to work with, so perhaps I'll have some on here by spring, well hopefully before that. Maybe even tomorrow. But today, I'll show you one of Ron's Christmas presents to himself that he bought in early December. It is a leaf vacuum. Leaves are a big problem here with so many oak trees and he would never be able to rake  them all, so he has used vacuums for several years. The last one he had broke in November. Thankfully when it did the leaves hadn't started falling in great numbers. They did later in December and he had his new toy, sorry, machine, to do the work. Here is Ron with his prize possession at present.
