It’s Thanksgiving week and that means that Auburn University classes are over for the holiday break. For the last few years this week has been the time which my dad, Larry Fillmer, takes a few days off from work and gets on the John Deere tractor and cuts the pasture grass for the winter. There is around 20-30 acres of actual grass to cut, so it usually takes most of the week. Today was a bit cloudy and cold, but, it’s November. I think there are a few people in his office that read my blog so I thought I would let you know what Larry Fillmer looks like when he is not in a suit and tie on campus.
I would love to hear from those who know Larry but don’t normally comment on my blog. Can I have a caption for the photo above??

Spring weather was here at our house just long enough to make the dogwoods bloom and the grass start growing. Now it is dry and cold again. (35-40 degrees at night). The grass did get tall enough to cut though and Scott, trooper that he is, decided to test out his dad’s new John Deere lawn tractor. I am not sure how thrilled his dad was seeing that we have a yard full of big boulderous rocks, but here is Scott as viewed from my office window.
Problem was that his head was cold. Here is his solution to the problem. Is this proper attire for winter lawn mowing???? He decided to dawn his full winter jacket, and his motorcycle gear. Gloves, face mask, and full face helmet. Spring will arrive soon and we will soon be complaining about how hot it is here in the southern part of Alabama, just like we do each year, but today it is cold.
