The winter was the warmest I've ever experienced going into December. This picture was taken at Dunn's Park in Gardner on December 11, 2015. It was my 61st birthday. The temperature that day was in the mid 50's.

The Toro needs a lot of work this year. The auger cable, paddles, scrapper bar, bearings, and wheels need to be replaced. It also needs to be repainted after the surface rust has been sanded off. December 2015
