He there, Flighty,
thanks for dropping in!
Honestly, I think they just take last years and tweak them a bit so it looks like something new. lol

I keep trying to persuade the Co Gardener of that "lawns are out" thing. He continues to refuse to buy it. Even when I point out that he could have corn.

ChickenFreak,
thanks for dropping by!
